Abstract

The outbreak of COVID-19 had a huge impact on the educational system as it leads to the closure of the educational institutions across globe. This had an impact on both economy and society apart from affecting the students and teachers. The situation became even more worser in the case of the disadvantaged students as it affected not only their education but also lead to problems such as improper nutrition, childcare and also economic problems as many lost their jobs due to the pandemic situation. In order to move on with the situation, UNESCO suggested the educational institutions to takeover virtual platforms as a replacement to the traditional classes in order to reduce the disruption of education. These virtual platforms became a critical lifeline for educational institution as it helps to reduce the transmission of disease. In this paper we could see the ways that the pandemic has transformed the education sector across the world which include Online learning, Unequal access to technology, and educational resources, a wide range of distance learning tools, new methods of assessment with learning management software, online appreciation for teachers and educators and the changing role of parents in education. But there was some gap between educators and learners.
