Online learning provides a solution for continuing education during the pandemic, but it also presents several challenges. It is not accessible or effective for all students, especially those without reliable internet or technology. The rapid transition to online has been difficult for both teachers and students. Virtual learning can cause mental health issues like anxiety, stress, and fatigue for both students and teachers. It also makes learning new material more difficult. While necessary during closures, online education highlights the infrastructure gaps in developing countries regarding network access, computers, and education technology. Synchronous online classes in particular face frequent technical issues with unstable internet connections, which disproportionately impact students in remote areas.

Effectivity of Online Class
With the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the role of technology in education has expanded dramatically. Despite the fact that we are in a community quarantine, some economic activity is continuing and will resume in earnest at some point. Online learning, in my opinion, may be a solution for some, but not for all, because we must consider those who do not have access to technology or the internet. I also believe that because teachers and professors play such an important role in education, online learning is not and will never be as effective as in-person learning. And, to be honest, many professors/teachers are struggling to adapt to the rapid transformation of technology due to a generation gap.
Mental Health Students, parents, and even teachers' mental health suffer as a result of online classes. Individuals with pre-existing mental health issues may experience worsening symptoms. Consider what it would be like for a child to spend hours every day in front of Zoom, with no social interaction or playtime with their peers. Parents are increasingly acting as teachers and becoming more involved in their children's schoolwork. Teachers and professors are under pressure to deliver quality learning without face-to-face classes due to increased workloads. It is more difficult for students to learn new information, and even when they are just sitting in front of the computer or answering their modules, they feel physically tired. Virtual learning fatigue is real, and it can cause anxiety and stress in students and professors alike.
Education System during the Pandemic
Coronavirus has an impact on the global education system. To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, schools, colleges, and universities have been closed. Students, teachers, and parents face difficulties as a result of the school's closure. As a result, distance learning is a viable option for sustaining the educational system. However, in developing countries, distance learning is hampered by a lack of network infrastructure, computers, and internet access. As a result, countries devise a strategy for utilizing educational technology, no-cost internet educational resources, free online learning resources, and broadcast education. During closures, educational institutions develop curriculum and teach-learning strategies for the post-coronavirus era. When schools reopen, educational institutions devise strategies to recover lost learning and reintroduce students to the classroom. Coronavirus has had an impact on developing countries' face-to-face education systems. As a result, developing countries should improve their broadcast, online, and virtual classroom infrastructures. Internet Connection To be honest, our country is internet-challenged. A problem that had resulted in delays in the implementation of remote learning in general. Although internet plans are available, they are not all created equal. As a result, there was never a day in an online class when a student did not complain, such as "Can someone tell the professor I/he/she got disconnected?" “Oops! What happened to him? (referring to the professor who is unaware he has been disconnected), "I have unstable Wifi," "Do you guys see/hear me?" We live in the city, but we still have mishaps. What about students who are stuck in remote areas where the signal isn't as strong as it is in cities? They are forced to “move mountains” just to get a bar or two.
As students, we do our best to make the most of what we have at home and avoid falling behind. Although online learning may be the best option for the time being, you can't help but wonder how everyone is adjusting and coping with the issues that arise while attending online classes, particularly synchronous classes. Synchronous classes are held in real time, and many issues arise during this time. Unfortunately, most of these problems are technical.
