Abstract

The corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic is an unprecedented emergency that has affected all global industries, including education (Ayittey et aI., 2020). Due to this pandemic, many countries all over the world have put complete lockdown which has affected their economy. Many sectors are completely closed including education sector. In this pandemic era education sector had gone through many changes which have a great impact on Students, Teachers, Parents and Educational Institutions. Because of the problems caused by lockdown many students have made changes in their education plans. With the widespread implementation of social distancing and self-isolation policies, it is not feasible for educators and students to attend classes or assessments as they were doing previously. The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted our traditional educational practices and has precipitated an urgent need for many institutions to rapidly implement alternative educational and assessment strategies.
