In India, the emergence of COVID-19 was confirmed a pandemic in all its states and Territories. In effort to fight COVID-19, a lockdown was enforced on 25 March 2020 that negatively effected the school system. The conventional education system has been adapted to the education technologies (EdTechs) model, where teaching and evaluation are performed online. The goal of this paper is to identify barriers faced by teachers during online teaching and evaluation in different home environment settings in India.Empirical data was obtained from 500 respondents via an online survey. The proposed conceptual structure was empirically investigated by means of the Chi-square Logistic Regression Test. Finding shows that this involved a lack of technological infrastructure, insufficient knowledge of online teaching platforms and security issues. The results of the study may be of interest to the regulatory authorities and employers of higher education institutions that are preparing to implement online teaching as a daily practise in the future. A number of scholars have conducted research to resolve the challenges faced by online teaching and learning students during COVID-19 in India.To the knowledge of the researcher' understanding, this is the first research to discuss the problems facing the education system during online teaching and evaluation in the home setting. The current study fills the void by adding to the literature on online teaching and evaluation of home environment settings during the pandemic situation
Key words: Education System, COVID-19, Impact, Govt. of India and Digital Divide.
