Over 90% of students worldwide had their education disrupted. This closure affected learning, assessments, and activities like exams and admissions. It shifted education online, but many low-income schools lacked resources for e-learning. Parents also struggled with the change in teaching methods. Higher education transitioned online through tools like learning management systems. However, engagement has been a challenge. The long-term effects on skills, employment, and rebuilding lost learning remain uncertain. Multi-pronged strategies are needed to manage the ongoing crisis in education.

searching the ways to solve the issues which arose due to the lockdown and
putting their efforts to fill the loss of learning. In order to rebuild the loss in
learning at the time when they will be reopened, schools need resources.
There are many questions in front of the schools such as how to target the
children and how to utilize these resources etc. need to be solved. The internal
assessment of the students related to the learning should not be skipped. It
should be postponed. In order to avoid the longer unemployment period for
new graduates, new policies should be formed to support them in their entry
to the labour market.
