Abstract

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, "UNESCO", estimated that more than 1.5 billion students in 165 countries were forced to drop out of schools and universities due to the emerging Corona virus pandemic. The pandemic has forced academic bodies around the world to discover new forms of learning and teaching, including e-learning and distance education. This experience is considered a challenge for students and teachers, who have been forced to deal with the emotional, physical and economic difficulties imposed by the pandemic, while committing their role to limit the spread of the virus. The search for the potential effects of the pandemic on students is one of the most important research problems.
