Abstract
This paper evaluates the anticipated impact of the COVID – 19 pandemic on mainstream
higher education in Pakistan as the country’s institutions plan an unprecedented shift to digital mode of
instruction. The outbreak has forced the institutions to call off face-to-face teaching and move to the online
instructional method. The world, struggling to delineate the new normal, moved quickly towards lockdown.
This measure was imperative to enforce social distancing to contain the epidemic. In this paper, we argue that
the panic has not permitted the academic community to systematically investigate the challenges and offer
solutions. Still, it is possible to quickly identify some of the burning issues and provide some recommendations
for policymakers, educationists and academics to deal with the crisis.
