Abstract: COVID-19 has impact the daily routine of people worldwide. It not only affected the economic and medical health of nations but also affected adversely the emotional well being of the population worldwide. To talk of the most vulnerable lot, it is the children, the students and the learners who are striving hard to survive in this topsy turvy environment. The structure of schooling and learning was the first to be affected by this COVID-19 pandemic.

Approaches like teaching and learning with greater enactment of technology will strengthen the future of education in schools and colleges.
