The World is today reconciling to the aftereffects of the pandemic COVID-19 that struck all countries in the world in March 2020, leaving a long trail of deaths, disability and irreparable loss of lives and livelihoods, particularly to the poor and marginalized in developing nations. Besides the medical aspect of what factors caused the virus, whose multiplications are striking the people even to this day, that they have not freed from its deadly trap and tentacles. After this medical ill-significance of the pandemic, comes its economic impact. Much has been written about how millions of families were washed away in the milieu created by the pandemic that took away young and old, males and females and the third gender, poor and rich, politicians and business tycoons to common man/woman.

One of the important fall out of this pandemic has been its impact (by way of derailing) on the education system, educational institutions and mode of learning, examinations, and conferring degrees that would take the students/youth towards building their careers, which have become greatly important in the post-pandemic days in all the countries, but more in the developing ones.

Sociologically, impact on educational system has its causal effect on the primary institution of family from where the youngsters get socialized. This paper attempts to look at the impact of COVID-19 on students in schools, in particular where online education or learning was introduced following the lockdown due to the pandemic.
