This article aims to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic affects students’ learning and to determine the most effective way for universities to manage the epidemic while continuing their regular operations. The study also aims to identify any areas where universities’ behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic or any similar crises in the future may need to be improved. The primary purpose of any university is to carry out academic activities, and this research focuses on how to do so effectively and efficiently. The study reports that COVID-19 has hurt graduate programs, internships, internal and external assessments, and student learning after reviewing the literature. However, the pandemic has also allowed universities to improve their internet and ICT infrastructure and provide the necessary skills for their workforce to deliver effective learning. This was done in addition to mitigating the learning challenges brought on by COVID-19. While the article focuses on analyzing the body of literature about the impact of COVID-19 on student learning during the pandemic, it also identifies several areas that need further investigation. To provide an integrated approach to managing university academic business while combating the pandemic, research must be done from the viewpoint of teachers, lecturers, administrators, and other parties. The first chapter of the study covers the primary data and history of COVID-19. COVID-19 began in late 2019 and rapidly spread globally. The World Health Organization classified COVID-19 as a pandemic in early 2020. COVID-19 has affected every aspect of life, including schooling. The second chapter examines the impact of the pandemic on students' learning, as well as the containment and preventative measures implemented by the relevant authorities to halt the virus’s spread. This chapter covers the enrollment of students before and after COVID-19, the teaching strategies used to reduce the risk of infection and ensure student learning, the validity and efficiency of student assessments, and other experiences, including stress on a physical, emotional, and financial level. It also discusses internships and jobs and outlines some benefits and opportunities associated with efficient learning as a means of advancing. The final chapter emphasizes the limitations of the paper's topic under discussion.

“…Nonetheless, the private tertiary institutions fair better than the public in terms of the exploitation of e-platform learning. Iseolorunkanmi, et al [21] study reveal that lecturers from the Nigerian private-owned universities keyed into the request for an urgent change to online teaching than their counterparts in the public-owned universities. This can partly be attributed to a better funding and prompt response on the part of the privately-owned Universities.…”

AimTo explore the experiences and needs of postgraduate nursing students within the Nigerian context.DesignThis qualitative study was conducted using a descriptive phenomenological approach.MethodData were collected between February and April 2022 using a purposive sampling method and telephone semi‐structured interviews. Colaizzi's method of Qualitative data Analysis was utilized. Twenty‐two Nigerian postgraduate nursing students were interviewed.ResultsThree themes emerged: challenges of Nigerian postgraduate students before the pandemic, the impact of the pandemic on postgraduate education, and innovations to improve postgraduate education in Nigeria. The challenges include the burden of physical lectures, lack of infrastructure, and poor mentorship of postgraduate nursing students. The impact of the pandemic on postgraduate education includes abrupt disruption of the academic program, a prolonged academic calendar, and a communication gap between students and their research supervisors. Innovations to improve postgraduate nursing education in Nigeria also include adoption and sustainability of e‐learning, upgrading post‐basic to postgraduate nursing programmes, proper structuring of postgraduate nursing education, commencement of postgraduate nursing programmes in more universities and provision of financial aid for students. Our primary finding is that funding, mentorship and infrastructure were issues peculiar to all the respondents.ConclusionThis study concludes that efforts should be made to maintain a seamless educational program by ensuring an uninterrupted flow of learning through virtual means, thereby enhancing effective teaching and learning.ImplicationsGraduate nursing studies is one of the suggested solutions in the WHO strategic direction for nursing and midwifery globally to achieve Universal Health Coverage . The reason is that nurses can practice with more and better skills in any work setting, thus improving the quality of health care services. Our study provides insights into the experiences of postgraduate students and how these could discourage other nurses who might have thought about furthering their studies. Efforts should be made to provide all the support that these students need, using evidence from this study and similar studies to ensure they have a good learning experience and others can be motivated to learn at the graduate level as well. This will increase the proportion of nurses and midwives honed with better skills to provide more standard quality services that will improve patient care outcomes.
