Abstract: The Government of Pakistan closed all the educational institutions on March 14, 2020 due to the spread of the pandemic Covid-19. The imposition of control movement and closure of institutes was implemented at the time when the secondary school students in district Mardan were appearing for their annual examination 2020. The increase of COVID cases across the country extended the closure of the educational institutions for the academic year 2020 and all the students were promoted to the next grade without examination which was another impact of COVID on students’ English language performance.
