Abstract
Technology is gradually dominating the present world in all facets and ramifications. This work titled: Coronavirus Effect and Sustainable Education in Nigeria is aimed at exploring the concept of sustainable learning and education (SLE) and vitrine its relatedness with e-learning, then x-ray the challenge of sustainable e-learning in Nigeria. Adopting the Integrated Model Framework proposed by Picciano (2017), the work is based on content analysis approach. The finding is that the rate of acceptability of e-learning is still very low owing to critical factors such as: low computer literacy level, mass unawareness, and cost among others. We recommend that Nigeria should leverage on the effect of the pandemic (coronavirus) to build a sustainable educational system by improving on educational funding as UNESCO recommended 26% of the annual budget. Government should by any means possible improve and sustain steady supply of power as well as improve the bandwidth for connectivity. As a major stakeholder, government should provide the legal framework, policies and structures that will carry sustainable learning and education by all stakeholder. Private or public. Keyword: Coronavirus (COVID-19), sustainable learning and education (SLE), e-learning, bandwidth and quality education.
