| description | This paper discussed the challenges of implementing e-learning in Nigeria educational system in the COVID-19 pandemic era. Globally, the world is faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has held the economy at ransom not exempting the educational sector. This pandemic has brought about recent changes and disruptions in the educational sector which serves as a catalyst for the development of any nation. Educational sector globally is seen to be shifting towards e-learning in order to cushion the effect of this pandemic. However, developing countries evidence from the Nigeria experience is posed with the challenge of shifting from the traditional teaching method to the e-learning during the pandemic. The challenges arise because of the varying degree of preparedness of the institutions, lack of infrastructures, paucity of funds and policies issues in the Nigeria education sector. It is in tandem with this prevailing issues that this study examines the Nigeria educational system based on the global pandemic. This paper further discussed the concept of COVID-19 pandemic, the necessity of e-learning and challenges as well as opportunities and implementation of e-learning in Nigeria. Hence, the study conclude that the present world pandemic is making the educational sector to look inward. Institutions are now embracing e-learning which serves as alternative to the face-to-face contact learning thereby helping the institutions cover gaps the pandemic might cause the institutions academic calendar. The study recommended amongothers; that government should be proactive in ameliorating the challenges identified in this study and build on the opportunities e-learning offers educational institutions even post COVID-19. Also, for e-learning to be effective, appropriate measure should be given to maintenances, provision of stable internet provider to support easy and fast learning andteaching. |
