The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted education systems around the globe, including in Bangladesh, which has pushed a greater number of students provisionally out of school. Bangladesh is among the countries most affected by a complete shutdown, as the government has temporarily closed educational institutions for the last nine months in an attempt to control the spread of the virus. This nationwide closure has adversely affected millions of students' learning and mental health. The proposed article will highlight the pedagogical practices of students and teachers at the secondary level during the pandemic, which may include students' unequal access to education, digital skills, dropping out of school, girls’ early marriage, child labour, economic impact on family income and teachers' preparedness in digital technologies and professional capacities.The switch from an in-person to an online mode of teaching-learning practice can also impede the attainment of gender parity in secondary education. This project will gather primary data through a multirespondent survey and in-depth interviews from representative student and teacher populations. The article will also suggest future directions for a post-COVID long-term approach for the balanced continuation of effective and alternative learning systems for all levels of students at the secondary education level from the socioeconomic perspectives of Bangladesh.
