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),
