There is a growing body of literature on online teaching documenting inequality of access and quality concerns experienced by students and their parents in pre-pandemic time. COVID-19 pandemic forced students to experience these issues more acutely and affectively, which calls for in-depth studies on the effects and consequences of online teaching in terms of access and quality since COVID-19 pandemic. Studies capturing the learners’ struggle with inequality of access to and education quality of online teaching during COVID-19 are still rare. This study explores learners’ experiences of online teaching introduced by universities in Bangladesh in time of COVID-19, and finds students tangled in a Sisyphean struggle with access and quality learning. Insights from the study may shed light on the issues to be considered for online teaching in post-pandemic contexts.
