The Covid-19 pandemic has spread to many countries around the world more rapidly than previous pandemics experienced by humanity. In this process, while the strategies of countries and health systems to deal with the pandemic are formed the upper part of the iceberg, the possible effects of the pandemic in various areas, predictions and discussions on the post-pandemic world are carried out in the rest of the larger part. The aim of this study is to outline the emergence and effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and to discuss the conclusions that can be drawn from this experience in the field of adult learning and education. The importance of adult education emerges in the pandemic process, where the relationship between the individual's attitude and behavior and the community is redefined. The Covid-19 pandemic shows that, in addition to health literacy as part of lifelong learning, education has a key role in managing potential disaster processes. As a result, the field of adult education should be utilized in raising citizens' knowledge and awareness about health literacy; adult education and learning should be a part of the national disaster strategy and the national disaster action plan.
