Abstract
The spread of coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is a trending issue that has
become a global threat to the development of all countries in the world. The disease
has affected all sectors of the economy, including sports, education, etcetera. This
study examined the impactof the Corona Virus on the educational system in Nigeria
and its implication for stakeholders. The spread of the pandemic was analyzed using
the reports emanated from reliable sources. The pandemic’s effects include the
closure of schools at all levels, delay in completion of an academic degree, risky
decision making, rise in public and private partnership, online teaching, and
students’ learning outcomes. The implication for stakeholders includes the
government’s need to provide an up-to-date report on the pandemic’s spread to
protect institutions’ inhabitants. School authorities should provide teaching through
online platforms (Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp, Googlemate, Email, etcetera). There
should be synergy between school management and parents to ensure that students
receive the teaching provided online. Also, parents should assist their children by
providing them the necessary gadgets needed for learning online. Moreover, the
students should be taught precautionary measures that will enable them to stay safe
for the post-coronavirus era
