Education in COVID-19 and Post-COVID Eras: A Paradigm Shift

The world is faced with the present realities of coronavirus pandemic, an outbreak which has not spared public related endeavors, institutions, not even education. The crippled human activities, endeavors and the economy of the world as a result of the coronavirus pandemic came as rude shock as there was no canary in the coal mine to suggest something of such magnitude. In this regard, this paper examined the present state of the coronavirus pandemic, highlighted sterling transitions from COVID-19 to post-COVID eras, and gave some recommendations that may assist the Nigerian government or other bodies concerned with educational matters. As emphasized, the governments and concerned subjects must ensure justice in bridging the gap of educational inequity, by ensuring adequate funding of the education sector and training (and retraining) of teachers, and lastly, by creating an enabling environment for both students and teachers to thrive.
