Objective: To understand the progress of scientific research during the pandemic, and to analyze comprehensively the factors, in order to better carry out targeted work, and further strengthen the planning of scientific research organizations. Method: We issue questionnaires on mobile phones to colleges and research institutes in the natural sciences. According to the situation of their scientific research teams, each unit selects 5 - 10 faculty members of different research fields, different professional qualifications, different levels and different ages to complete online questionnaires. Being problem-oriented, we select professors, scholars, young instructors and scientific research managers from 6 colleges with different departments and different scientific research scales to conduct the research and discussions. We extract data from scientific research system for macro analysis. The above three methods are complemented and cross-referenced with each other. Results: The scientific research works in colleges and universities are affected widely by the epidemic. The result shows that the experimental process was slow (accounting for 65.78%). The postgraduates were not on duty (accounting for 61.16%), and the limited data of thesis writing appeared detached (accounting for 27.18%). Compared with the same period of the previous two years, the individual applications for government-sponsored research are considered to be basically equal (accounting for 51.46%). Due to the reduction of government financial investments, some major scientific research projects undertaken by enterprises. Conclu-sion: According to the requirements for epidemic prevention and control, the deployment and planning of the work should be adjusted timely, in order to respond to the actual needs. We must strike a balance between epidemic prevention and control, and scientific research, promote both of them

This qualitative study aims to analyze the impact of the remoteness and hardship allowance on teacher retention in the rural schools located within the Oshana Region, based on the perceptions of eight teachers who were purposely picked from two different schools. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were used to collect data, and then the data were analysed using a thematic approach so that we could discover and examine emergent themes. The re-sults of the study uncovered numerous important issues, which shed light on the efficiency of the remoteness and hardship allowance as well as its influence on the rate at which teachers remain employed in rural schools. Among the recommendations are the strengthening of existing infrastructure, the enhancement of working conditions, the provision of comprehensive assistance, the promotion of chances for professional growth, the resolving of concerns regarding fairness and adequateness, and the establishment of efficient monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. It is possible for educational authorities and school management to establish an atmosphere in rural schools that encourages the retention of teachers, increases well-being, and raises the overall quality of education by putting these recommendations into practise.
