This book presents current and emerging knowledge related to the exceptional situation, the aftermath of COVID-19, which has impacted all aspects of human existence. These chapters relate to current and planned research studies on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education. The questions answered are related to how the pandemic has changed the practices of education, for better or for worse, and to whether the pandemic has triggered a paradigm shift in the future of education and thus the current practices will become a "new normal." This book gathers both national and international feedback and experiences related to teaching, learning, assessing, conducting research, and policy making in various fields of education during and post COVID-19 pandemic to provide a wholistic view to the different players in the education sector in order to have tangible data that will, hopefully, help in taking the right decisions.
