The total number of faculty nursing staff who took part in this study was 130 (N= 130). Results: More than three quarters (77.7%) of the study sample reported negative effect of pandemic on instructional delivery, about three quarters (73.1%) also reported negative effect of pandemic on evaluation process.

Conclusion: The global impact of COVID-19 on education has been profound and far-reaching. The pandemic has disrupted educational systems worldwide, leading to school closures, learning loss and significant challenges for students, educators, and parents. The shift to online learning has exacerbated existing inequalities in access to education. Furthermore, the pandemic has highlighted the importance of digital literacy and the need for robust infrastructure to support distance learning. The long-term consequences of COVID-19 on education are still unfolding. Moreover, the findings of this study revealed that faculty nursing staff perceived a high overall level of negative impact of the pandemic COVID-19 on the education program. Additionally, the results indicated a highly statistically significant relationship between the total perception of faculty staff and their experience in educational crisis management, their educational crisis management training, and their remote learning training. Recommendation: Provide comprehensive training to faculty of nursing staff in online teaching methods. Develop crisis management plan in place that outlines procedures for responding to emergencies. Investigate the integration of technology into educational settings and its accessibility among diverse student populations. | ||
