ABSTRACT
The use of ICT in education spread to every corner of the world during the Covid-19 Pandemic. It detached the students from social contact. It was the only available alternative way to continue the teaching-learning process by staying at home. Many students were not capable of participating in their online teaching-learning. This study accomplishes its survey in the second wave of the Covid-19 with the help of scheduled interviews with 400 samples studying in secondary schools. It focuses on the self-study habit of the students during the period of schools closed due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. This study reveals a high positive correlation of the self-study habit of the students with participation in their online teaching-learning, and the value of correlation is rt=0.74 (tetrachoric r). The present study partially unfolds the hidden picture of the educational havoc due to the second wave of the Pandemic due to the poor economic condition of their family.
