Abstract:
The tragedy of the COVID?19 health crisis is creating exceptional circumstances that are affecting millions of lives and causing massive economic, social and educational disruptions. The impacts of COVID?19 on education system show that there will not be a return to the world that existed before. Education had been, over decades, a basic human right and the foundation on which to build peace and drive sustainable development. In responding to the Covid-19 crisis, Education institutions were closed down but some tertiary institutions have been able to relatively transform operation online quickly. The Michael Otedola College of Primary Education (MOCPED) is one of such that have adapted more quickly than expected. This may be because of its investments in digital connectivity for sometimes. This paper therefore seeks to x-ray the College response to the covid-19 challenges and the possibilities that open in the future if the current humble gains are sustained. The paper concludes that today’s decisions by education managers in the context of Covid-19 should be guided by the shared principles and visions of desired collective futures
