Summary
The virus (Covid-19), which first appeared in Wuhan, capital of China's Hubei region, in December 2019, quickly became a pandemic and affected the whole world. The adverse effects of the pandemic have manifested themselves in the field of education as well as in all areas and all countries globally; formal education has been suspended in whole or in part. Considering the data released by UNESCO (2020), as of April 2020, schools were completely closed in approximately 190 countries around the world, while schools were partially or regionally closed in four countries due to the pandemic. This situation forced approximately 91% of students at all educational levels to face the negative effects of the pandemic, which corresponds to more than 1.5 billion students. The number of teachers who were adversely affected by this process was announced as 65 million (TTF 2030, 2020)
