This paper discussed the impact of health policy implementation on the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in tertiary educational institutions in Anambra State, Nigeria. The authors noted that social distancing measures, such as remote learning and reduced in-person interactions, had several potential effects on teacher-student relationships, including limited opportunities for face-to-face interactions, increased reliance on technology, limited access to resources, changes in the nature of feedback and evaluation, and a possible impact on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. The scholars, however, emphasized the importance of finding alternative ways to establish personal connections and maintain a sense of community during periods of social distancing, such as through online learning platforms, virtual meetings, and other digital communication methods. They further stated that teachers may need to be more mindful of the emotional needs of their students and find ways to support them through remote learning.
