In Pakistan, according to the regional study of Anwar, Khan and Sultan (2020) the universities and schools are experiencing distinct barriers and challenges. Teachers and students are both unprepared for online instruction. They also lack the necessary technology, such as the internet, mobiles, and laptops, to conduct online education. In addition, students and teachers are not encouraged to learn online. Technical or analytical courses, as well as laboratory work, are difficult to teach on the computer.
