The present study has been organized in a way to achieve the objective of investigating the challenges faced by Head Teachers during the pandemic in Panjgur, Balochistan. The researcher has entered into exploratory research through the mechanism of a qualitative design through semi-structured interviews.

The study will be of much use to improving virtual communication between groups, teachers must be well-equipped and educated for online learning especially in to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
