In the study an analysis has been made on the consequences faced by Turkish students within and outside country due to covid-19 pandemic along with the analysis of impact on Turkish education system. The government measure undertaken to curb covid-19 spread has resulted into economic loss. Students and children are among the group who have been affected severely due to government measures, social and cultural impact where children were deprived for their basic right to education due to lack of infrastructure, resources and supportive environment. The government of Turkey took measures to prevent the excessive damage along with providing support for learning through EBA and other digital media. However there was still a huge gap in the teaching learning process faced by students as well as teachers. The Turkish students who have been pursing studies out the homeland had to face many consequences which involved stress, anxiety, lack of resources, confusion regarding their legal status, loss of opportunities and experiences etc. Thus the study provides an in depth understating of the consequences of Covid-19 on the education system of Turkey and the students living within and outside Turkey by including qualitative as well as quantitative analysis to draw results for the study and will discuss the future prospect of research in the field. This will be a significant contribution to the literature and will be a great insight for readers to determine future course of action so that learning losses can be prevented.
