EDUCATION IN TIMES OF CRISIS: THE CHALLENGES OF LEARNERS IN THE EXAMINATION CLASSES IN COMPLETING THE SYLLABUS

Delphine Embi Achuo

Abstract


The right to education is a fundamental human right for children.  Each country adopts and defines its curriculum, requirements for each level, rules, roles, and responsibilities of all education stakeholders. Each school year starts with a clearly defined calendar and the assumption that everything will be equal.  However, wars, epidemics, natural disasters, and socio-political crises often erupt and disrupt the school calendar.  300 participants will be used in the study. The article will attempt to look at the challenges from the point of view of learners, teachers, parents, and school authorities. A sampling technique, some theories, and data will be coded, analyzed, and reported using inferential and descriptive statistics. The reliability of the research instruments will be tested. From the findings, recommendations for education stakeholders will be made.
