The study is vital as the education sector was badly hit by the pandemic through regulations designed to contain its spread. Sudden closure of schools countrywide, with no mechanisms in place to assist continuation of teaching and learning, left the education sector in dissaray. The challenge was that many of the schools had to scramble for different systems of ensuring that teaching and learning goes unhindered.
