Abstract Corona virus has seriously affected the education system at global levels. Most of the educational institutions had opted for online education as an alternative, to continue the teaching and learning process. Literature reveals that most pedagogical institutions have their individual practices and measures to test the level of readiness towards online education, based on teachers and learners, without involving other key stakeholders of an educational system. Consequently, there is a dire need of a standard framework to test the level of readiness towards online education, involving all the major stakeholders of a pedagogical system that requires a precise combination of different practices and areas those are essential for gauging it. This paper highlights the necessities of productive online education; key challenges and opportunities faced by educational institutions during COVID-19 pandemic and areas required to be focused in the future, centred on existing literature, and offers a framework to test the readiness of online education through required areas in the form of checklists, involving all the key stakeholders. Consequently, this framework is a benchmark for educational institutions in the direction of gauging the level of readiness towards online education.
