The education system is one of the adversely affected areas by the pandemic. The lockdown in response to COVID-19 has compromised the conventional educational system that has made emergence for online mode of teaching.

In particular, learners in the most marginalized groups, who don’t have access to digital learning resources are at risk of falling behind. The present review is an attempt to summarize the effect of the pandemic COVID-19 on lifestyle behavior with a special focus on the teaching environment.
