The efficiency of online education varied across institutions, sectors, and countries. It is noteworthy that while switching to online learning helped to remedy the difficult situation during the pandemic in 2020, the weaknesses that arose from it were largely consistent across various domains. While the majority claimed that the main issue was disinterested or indifferent students, others believed that online education was a relatively new strategy that should be highlighted and studied both during and after the pandemic because it would be impossible to return to focusing solely on traditional education in the modern era. Integrating the online method into the curriculum means reshaping the approaches used by the teachers in the first place. This confirmed approach is more linked to the new digital era of education. A step to be taken here is to have the learners aware of the changes and the requirements by doing courses, workshops, and seminars on the ways that may be followed together with the teachers and the administration which would ultimately reduce the burden on the educators, parents, and society.
