Measures to restrict the dissemination of the COVID-19 virus amongst the older and younger communities in many nations have led to the widespread closing of hospitals, schools, colleges and other educational establishments. According to the Saudi Ministry of Education, health authorities have been recommending "preventive and precautionary" steps to ensure full protection for students and staff. The ministry asked for the approval of virtual schools so that the learners will not mentally fall behind. The outbreak took a lot of hurdles like poverty, unemployment, social pressure and Education deficiencies.

After the announcement of University closures, Saudi Arabia is one of the nation where students are worried and going through a phase of learning, where they have no tutor, a lot of course work and only themselves to help them study. No team work, juts digital libraries are making it even worse. Many learning management systems are introducing, but none of them can come even closer to the impact and quality physical classrooms can provide. As graduate students, all students and professors are situated inside the liminal room of just being. This ensures they will contribute to both their students' and their own scholarly duties at the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and campus suspensions. They've seen learning consortia and coalitions taking shape over the last few weeks, with numerous actors-including states, retailers, educational experts, infrastructure companies, and mobile network operators-working forward to leverage new channels as a potential response to the problem.
