Abstract

This study empirically ascertained the impact of COVID-19 on education and recommended initiatives that could be adopted in managing the impact. Four null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study adopted a survey design. Self-prepared questionnaires were administered to 120 respondents that comprised of educators, students, parents and policy makers selected from different States in Nigeria. The questionnaires were administered online using online survey platform. Also, secondary data were generated from newspapers, journals, media and reports. From the collected data, multiple regression analysis was adopted in testing the null hypotheses using SPSS. From the results, all the null hypotheses were rejected except null hypothesis four. Thus, this paper recommends online learning as the best initiative in managing the impact of COVID-19 on education system in Nigeria.
