The effects of the pandemic on education produced a massive closure of
face-to-face activities of educational institutions, which has caused
institutions and students to adapt to the new conditions, face-to-face
activities of educational institutions, which has caused institutions and
students to get used to new learning and teaching methodologies, some
of the possible negative effects of the pandemic were that not all students

had the necessary resources to take their classes as they should which
affected their academic performance since at the time of taking classes at
home there were exposed to many different distractions like social
media, television, family distractions, etc. and this caused their academic
performance to drop.
