Teachers and lecturers have opted for online learning classes to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 and prevent pupils from falling behind in their studies. The shutdown of educational facilities does not impede our ability to persist in acquiring knowledge. Numerous methods exist to continue instructing kids even without professors' physical presence. Teachers produce instructional films and post them to YouTube to enable students to learn anywhere and anytime. Nevertheless, there are challenges associated with managing online education. This review article addresses the problems and challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the issue of limited internet connections in rural and inaccessible regions. This paper will also analyze the advantages and disadvantages of online learning experiences for students, educators, and parents during the pandemic
