ABSTRACT: Coronavirus
affects the education system in the world. Schools, colleges, and universities
are closed to control the spread of the coronavirus. School closure brings
difficulties for students, teachers, and parents. So, distance learning is a
solution to continue the education system. However, the lack of network
infrastructures, computers, and internet access is challenging distance learning in developing countries. This paper aims to review
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education system in developing
countries. Hence, countries design a strategy to use educational technology,
zero-fee internet educational resources, free online learning resources, and
broadcasts teaching. During closures,
educational institutions design curriculum, prepare teaching-learning strategies for post-coronavirus. The educational institutions design strategies to recover lost learning, and return
students to school when schools reopen. Coronavirus has been impacting the
face-to-face education system of developing countries. Therefore, developing
countries should enhance broadcast teaching, online teaching, and virtual class
infrastructures.
