The duration of the research was fifteen days, engaging two hundred respondents. The result shows that most educational foundations, namely 56%, were closed during the initial stages of the pandemic as per the government guidelines.&nbsp; According to the data, 22.5% of higher education institutions were partially closed and reported significant disruptions. On the other hand, 13% of higher education establishments were open for business and took no measures to deal with COVID-19. Most respondents in the study, 126 (66.7%), utilized Zoom meetings to conduct classes and other activities, while 40 (21.2%) used Google study hall.&nbsp; The main constraints that internet classes faced include fewer personal meetings between the lecturers and students. Also, internet learning does not permit students to seek more clarification during the lessons.&nbsp; The challenge is to make the internet available to all students.</p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",
