he academic sectors are badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic globally. The studies regarding the implications of COVID-19 in education in Nepal were minimal, thus, this paper aims to highlight the impacts of the
pandemic on the education sector of Nepal. It is revealed that the Nepalese academia has been facing problems
due to lack of adequate and appropriate sustainable infrastructure for the online system, including skilled human
resources. In addition, limited internet facilities in remote and rural areas were the other challenging tasks for
virtual academic activities. Therefore, the concerned stakeholders should provide necessary services and appropriate strategies for virtual means of the education system to compensate the repercussion caused by the
pandemic. This study could be helpful to identify the critical needs emerged due to the pandemic at present and in
future and also contribute to adopt appropriate policy for the revival of educational institutions.
