Higher education amidst COVID-19: Challenge: preparedness for crisis

  • One of the most difficult challenges stems from the level of preparedness on the parts of the educational institutions to handle crises similar to this pandemic.
  • Poorly managed/resourced institutions coupled with socially-disadvantaged students with limited access to internet and technology have affected how educational institutions adequately respond to learners’ needs and their inability to engage in an online learning environment.
  • Students with limited or no access to the resources to afford the technology, and students with learning disabilities run the risk of being left out, and the fact that it was happening before the pandemic hit is an indication that the pandemic will only continue to exacerbate the rate at which the inequalities are affecting students’ performance.
