Description
Summary:The COVID-19 pandemic has not stopped at national borders. It has affected people regardless of nationality, level of education, income or gender. But the same has not been true for its consequences, which have hit the most vulnerable hardest. Education is no exception. Students from privileged backgrounds, supported by their parents and eager and able to learn, could find their way past closed school doors to alternative learning opportunities. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds often remained shutting out when their schools shut down. This crisis has exposed the many inadequacies and inequities in our education systems - from access to the broadband and computers needed for online education, and the supportive environments needed to focus on learning, up to the misalignment between resources and needs. The focus of this paper is to find out the impact of Covid-19 among the students and the problems and challenges faced by the students during online classes. This paper makes a descriptive study and tries to identify the problems faced by the students during the online classes. A survey was done among 100 respondents and correlation and factor analysis was used. Three main factors were analysed from the study are Awareness, Convenience and Access.
