Abstract

Sometime in the mid- 2019, shocking waves about a disease called corona virus spread slowly but surely and within a twinkle of an eye, it became a worldwide phenomenon titled ‘’COVID- 19’’. After frantic efforts to combat the disease, it still ravaged the globe affecting and killing people in thousands and of recent we talk of millions dead. Countries, in order to salvage the situation placed barrier measures. In the sector of education, one of the measures was to close down schools to reduce the rate of contamination. In order to continue schooling, distance education through information and communication technology (I C T) was adopted as a veritable mode of communication. most countries of the world adopted this strategy. Developed countries had been used to the use of I C T in teaching/learning; developing countries introduced this mode of communication in the teaching/learning process and it opened up these countries to the concept of educational globalization which centre on the use of technology in education. This research endeavor to bring out information relating to COVID-19 and introduction of educational globalization in developing countries. Qualitative approach through documentary research and content analysis approach was used to bring out the justification that COVID -19 actually lead to introduction of educational globalization in developing countries. Also to complement the documentary information, the researcher designed ten open ended questions and distributed to teachers of three secondary schools ; two public and one private (ten per school) and also to 55 students of higher institutions (fourty from University of Ngaoundere, Garoua annex and fifteen from Higher Institute for Professionalism and excellence ; HIPTEX based in Garoua). The hypothesis to be verified include: 1. Covid 19 pandemic has contributed to the introduction of educational globalization in developing countries. 2. Covid 19 pandemic has not contributed to the introduction of educational globalization in developing countries. The results obtained were analyzed using content analysis approach (Patton, 1990). At the end of the research a major recommendation was that developing countries continue to use I C T in the teaching / learning process even after COVID -19 must have ended as the use of technology in education guarantees fast learning, easy research and teacher – student collaboration. It was also recommended that legislation be used to drive across this lofty practice for its fast applicability in the educational systems in developing countries.
