Abstract:
The COVID-19 (popularly, the Coronavirus pandemic) outbreak and its massive and instant
spread froze mobility globally on an unmatched scale and extensively and rapidly limited access
of the need for education. This research provides an assessment of the impacts of this pandemic
which has become a health, economic and geopolitical crisis with a direct effect on the education
system at international, national and local levels. It also deals with how the use of ICT and online
classes phenomenon developed from the unprecedented lockdown and social distancing practices
imposed by the government with a chance to provide a unique opportunity for the education
system. This research paper used empirical data from colleges to examine the pacts of covid-19
on the education system and how the colleges interacted with the effects of the pandemic. Some
colleges responded to the impacts of covid-19 with the use of online classes and other ICT means
to continue providing the service to their clients (students) while others face difficulty due to lack
of means necessary to conduct such classes and have the accessed by many. This research then
discusses on proper means of integrating ICT and college institutions in to achieve the proper way
of ease of access to education anywhere.
