Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic was a global obstacle for imparting education to students. The way of communication become modified according to that unwanted situation. The aim of our study was to observe the pros and cons of imparting education among the urban students. An observational study was conducted on 230 students of graduation (45.65%) and under graduation (54.35%) courses under Bangladesh Open University. The study period was from June 2020 to December 2020. Mean age of participants was 19.31 ± 11.32 years. Male outnumbered female and male to female ratio was 1.34 1. Among the participants 46% were facing difficulties to take part in our regular learning processdue to they have no android phone (56%), they had no full time internet access (42%) and they had no television set (21%). Most of them tried to overcome the situation by seeking internet services from government provided union media center (49%), by small and large facebook group (28%) and by downloading programs in SD card (31%). We hope that our newly adapted learning process can be an example of imparting education model for students in future pandemic and where communication facilities were not up to the mark.
