The Pandemic of Coronavirus and Education System

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has changed how students are educated worldwide within a few weeks. Such changes provide us with an insight into how education will change in the long run for the better and the worse. Several governments were announced the postponed student attendance at schools and universities as well over the previous weeks. On 7 April, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reported that in 188 countries, more than 1,576,021,818 affected learners are by postponed attendance schools and universities. Moreover, 22 other countries have declared partial "localized" closures.

While according to UNESCO (2020), 91% of the students worldwide impacted by education institutions closures [1]. Likewise, It is too early to measure COVID-19 impact on worldwide education systems with the current situation. However, the slow level of progress and development of academic institutions in Iraq is lamentable, with outdated teaching methods and materials, COVID-19 situation may be a catalyst for educational institutions in Iraq to pursue creative approaches in a relatively short period to help our education system to develop.

In the final part of their studies, the students endured considerable interruptions in their learning, and eventually, they will graduate during a massive global recession.

Several methods in Several countries have adopted to remain the education system active and keep the students engaging with the education environment. Such as Students in Hong Kong, they have started study at home, in February, via interactive apps [2].

As well in China, around 120 million students receive their learning process through TV broadcasts and other Technology tools [2].

Not far from Iraq, in Lebanon, the students began using online learning for topics like physical education. Students record and sent their physical fitness and sports videos as "homework" to their instructors, encouraging them to learn new multimedia skills. One parent said the homework activity took a few minutes while his son spent more than 3 hours editing the video and sent it to his instructor in a suitable format [2].
