“…Results also show that, out of the 197 respondents who answered the survey questionnaire, 82.7% felt that school closures may lead to unequal access to technology needed for continued teaching and learning, and 80.7% felt that shortened academic calendars may increase gap between low and high achieving learners. In line with the findings of the current study, various other studies, it was reported that because most governments around the world had temporarily closed educational institutions in an effort to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, educational activities that existed throughout the world were inhibited (Nkwain and Simwanza, 2020;Pragholapati, 2020;. This is also supported by Obiako and Adeniran, (2020) who found that the pandemic has impacted education in three major ways, including missed learning for most of the pre-pandemic students, loss of access to vital schoolprovided services and leaving more kids behind.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of teachers and learners of the effects of Covid-19 on the teaching and learning process in the selected secondary schools in Kapiri- Mposhi District. Methodology: Ten schools were selected using random sampling from the urban and rural parts of the district, from which a total of 197 participants comprising 100 grade 9 and 12 learners and 97 teachers, were sampled. A questionnaire, face to face interviews and focus group discussions were also used to collect data for this study. Findings: The findings of the study revealed that COVID-19 was viewed to have had affected the teaching and learning negatively, as it was considered to have led to negative effects such as the closure of schools, loss of learning time, ineffective teaching and learning, poor or unequal access to learning opportunities, especially between learners in the urban and rural located schools regarding online learning. Out of 197 respondents, most of the participants (90.9%) agreed that COVID-19 may lead to unequal access to educational resources, and also that school closures may negatively impact teaching and learning outcomes, especially for the underprivileged. Further, 88.8%, 87.3%, 86.8% and 85.8% of the respondents were of the opinion that learners may substantially lag behind especially in reading and mathematical subjects, stigmatization of infected learners and staff may heighten absenteeism, school closures may put strain on parents and teachers to provide childcare and manage distance (remote) learning while learners were out of school, and risky behavior may increase that may lead to increased teenage pregnancies and substance abuse among learners, respectively. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study contributes to literature by providing more insight on how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the teaching and learning in the selected schools, it provides knowledge and insights which could also be used to understand the effect of the pandemic on education in general and thus help in finding solutions for such emergencies in future.

“…Stress and emotional anxiety have spread like the virus itself. Humans have been locked down in their own home "cells" without being able to socialize and safely interact for the first time in many decades (Pragholapati, 2020). In the wake of all this uncertainty, vulnerable educational systems with their traditional classroom walls, physical setup, and routine daily work have been challenged.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide threat. Currently, all attention is focused on defining the disease, its presentation, treatment, and prevention, with little thought given to the impact of this disease on the prevalence and pattern of other diseases that pose health challenges. This study was a retrospective and observational study of the pattern of cases presenting at the Children Out-Patient (CHOP) Clinics of Enugu State University Teaching Hospital Parklane (ESUTHP) from five months before COVID detection to five months after COVID detection (COVID era). Clinical data from the clinic register, including age, gender, and diagnosis, was retrieved and recorded in an excel sheet before being transferred to SPSS version 20 for analysis. A total of 9377 children attended CHOP Clinics (6094 in the pre-COVID-19 era and 3283 in the COVID-19 era), representing a significant decrease in total clinic attendance in the COVID-19 era. During the study period, there was a 50% reduction in the number of cases (diseases and followups) documented from children attending clinics (pre-COVID-19 era, 4596 and COVID-19 era, 2367), indicating a significant reduction in the prevalence of these cases during the COVID-19 period. The prevalence of cases seen during the COVID-19 era was significantly lower than in the pre-COVID-19 era. This observed reduction could be attributed to COVID-19 control measures implemented in the hospital during the COVID-19 era. As a result, it is recommended that these measures be maintained in order to further reduce the prevalence of these cases even after COVID-19.
