Abstract
Most educational institutions were caught unprepared by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced millions of academicians and schools to dramatically change their methods of instruction. For roughly 1.5 years, online learning was essential, and during this time, digital education played a fundamental function in allowing instructors to instruct pupils remotely utilizing the variety of digital platforms and technologies. The objectives of this present paper are to explore the challenges, opportunities and issues that come with digital education after the COVID-19 outbreak. The present paper comes to a conclusion that the integration of digital education into the educational system, the use of m-learning, more adaptable and digital education methods, the review and redesign of national policies and curricula, the improvement of institutional infrastructure, the development of educational resources, and the improvement of students’ and teachers’ digital technology (and online pedagogy) skills are all possibilities to explore. Some suggestions are eventually addressed with reference to taking the crises’ lessons into account and moving on in the post-COVID normal.
