Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education sector in China and Bangladesh. This research employs document analysis technique to represent the context. The majority of the research articles used in this study are chosen from well-recognized platforms (i.e., Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, EBSCOhost and Google Scholar). The findings of this paper illustrate that the pandemic has shaken the education system across the world. The COVID-19 pandemic forced to shut down many educational institutions, which temporarily displaced millions of students across the world. Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic revealed a direct relationship to reduced learning possibilities of many students in Bangladesh. On the contrary, the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a new learning dimension across the world. However, the pandemic threatens mental health and throws questions regarding the effectiveness of online education in many nations, e.g. Bangladesh, and China. This study adds notable value to the existing literature by recommending some visionary guidelines for the education stakeholders.
