But this the COVID-19 pandemic has forced all education houses around the world to shut down indefinitely and thus has to move their educational activities onto online platforms. The schools were not prepared for such an unbelievable and sudden transition but any how they come up with an alternative of online classes. And thus teaching-learning processes start evolving gradually.
