The effects of Covid-19 pandemic on the education system in Nigeria: The role of competency-based education.

Covid-19 revealed the strengths and weaknesses in the global education atmosphere in both developed and developing countries. To that effect, this current study explored the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic on Nigeria's education system and in the process provided a distinctive solution to the challenges facing the sustainability of education in the country. However, the closure of schools for over six months at the onset of the covid -19 pandemic, and the inability of schools to engage learners in educational activities while at home also revealed the poor state of the education system in the country, which led to the discovery of the unavailability of distance online education, web-based learning system and ICT infrastructure in the Nigerian education environment.
