Abstract

This study investigates the impact of online education on student happiness. Utilizing a dataset of 5715 students sourced from Bangladesh, we employed an exploratory data analysis to analyze the quantitative data. The key finding is that there is a prevalent trend of dissatisfaction with online education among Bangladeshi students, regardless of demographic factors like age, gender, education level, preferred device for access, or type of academic institution. The dissatisfaction trend highlights the need of continuous improvements and targeted interventions are essential to ensure online education not only enables academic success, but also supports the overall wellbeing and happiness of students in the context of a developing country.
