COVID-19 spread rapidly globally and was declared a pandemic by WHO on 11 March 2020. According to UNESCO, the nationwide closures of schools and other educational institutions by mid-April 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has affected over 1.57 billion learners (over 90% of the world’s total enrolled student population) and at least 63 million primary and secondary teachers alone. The global lockdown of education institutions due to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused teaching and learning to move online on a massive scale, and many educators may be overwhelmed and unprepared to do their jobs well. Loss in learning happens if educators cannot cope with the interruptions.
