Abstract
Many educational institutions were closed following COVID-19 lockdown. The closure disrupted the smooth running of teaching in educational institutions. Although the impact was felt across the world, it impacted more in low- and middle-income countries due to poor resources for virtual learning. This study explored the barriers to Learning among Higher Education Students during COVID-19 pandemic. The research study utilized an explorative qualitative study approach. Twenty semi-structured interviews were carried out with higher education students. Data were thematically analyzed using the four phases of data analysis in The Silences Framework (TSF) which included researcher review, Silence dialogue, Collective voices, and Researcher reflection. The study found that poor digital literacy, lack of digital learning resources, poor internet connectivity, lack of opportunities for practical lessons and burden of domestic chores were barriers to learning among higher education students during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. There is need for higher education institutions to invest in ICT to enhance online lesson delivery in challenging pandemic times like COVID-19.
