Student's fate after lockdown

It's been 5 Months since schools were indefinitely shut down as a result of the outbreak of Corona virus pandemic. Students were forced to move back to their homes while many others living off campus might have stayed back
No academic activity has been on board all these while though attempts were made to enhance e-learning but all failed as a result of one problem or another such as poor network coverage and inavailability of required devices.
Almost everyone thought that the virus spreading would be controlled in no distant time but all were wrong. Little did they know that the virus will migrate from being an epidemic to a pandemic. This frustrated many students since most weren't prepared for such long vacation from school. Properties were left in school including books to be read.

Students were left choiceless as many have swept the idea of schooling away from them, while others started a part-time job, others are now into trading and skill acquisition. The idea of schooling is gradually fading away from students as many have already started making reasonable amount of income. Business is the only thing in their minds now as many have lost their academic intellects because they no longer perform academic activities and still feel no remourse about it. For many that tries to study, they might end up not comprehending anything because the foundations haven't been laid. If this continues, there'll be a great breakdown in the academic sector once the pandemic is over.
Students and lecturers will experience more stressful learning and teaching respectively. This might encourage more students to drop out of school in order to indulge in one thing or the other. Even the ones that'll be positive by staying back might end up graduating with poor results if extreme cares aren't taken. This lockdown might end up giving students new negative look and approach towards education.
If this happens, what's the fates of students
