Abstract

Since COVID-19 became pandemic, it has been affecting the global education. The situation is more severe for developing and low-income countries in terms of educational problems. Although students at younger age shows mild or no symptoms of COVID-19, children, and college students in developing countries have a hard time in learning under the influence of the virus. It is essential for the rest of the world to provide support to the developing countries to back on the tracks of providing normal education for children and students, especially for those who are from the poorest families.
