Abstract:
This paper examined the impact of Covid-19 and the need to restructure the educational pedagogy in Nigeria. it adopted the cognitive theory, which emphasizes the re-organization of information for the discovery of new explanations or the adoption of old ones. The adoption of the theory became necessary because re-organizing the educational system to involve the introduction and effective use of appropriate technology for learning and teaching would produce new explanations to knowledge. The paper argued that Nigeria is plagued with several challenges that has prevented it from taking off with the use of adequate platforms for learning and teaching. Such issues raised include poor or non-availability of facilities for effective online learning, poverty on the part of the students preventing their access to e-learning, high cost of data, poor or unstable power supply. In addition, those in the remote communities suffer more, as they cannot afford devices; they have limited access to network and internet, among others. The paper recommends that government should increase budgetary allocations to the education sector; collaborate with other key players in the sector to provide a dependable power supply, internet services, amongst others.
