Bibliometric analysis has been conducted to demonstrate a rigorous literature review. Peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly books, grey reports as organisational reports, and online materials were sourced from Scopus, google scholar, and RMIT databases. The keywords for searching and selecting included Covid-19, higher education, and SDGs. It also examines the education framework using the UN’s quality education goal (SD4). The literature and review process include the difficulties educational institutes across developed and developing countries face in achieving the SDG4 goal. This poses a more significant challenge for educational institutes, educators, and students since they need to cope with the new learning mode. To combat the challenges, the chapter provides unique insights for educational institutions to resolve the post-Covid-19 challenges in the higher education sector.
