Hi all,
I would like to know if the sentences I constructed below mean exactly what I want them to mean:
Due to covid-19 pandemic, schools everywhere have turned to online learning since May this year where every student gets to learn from home and the courses
(a) will be provided as usual as it had been at school.
(b) will be provided online as it had been at school.
(c) with courses provided as it would be at school.
(d) with courses provided as it had been taught at school.

What I want to say is students learning online will not get anything less than or at least same as what one can get from in class learning. I would like to use "as it had been" or "as it would be". But I'm not sure how.
 
For a start, change 'it' to 'they' in all cases.
 
Because I would like to keep everything simple. If I have to write like the following, it sound long and the point may get lost. My initial bet was (c) and (d) but I google it couldn't find sentences with similar structure. I always admire others who write simple but straight to the point.
"Due to covid-19 pandemic, schools everywhere have turned to online learning since May this year where every student gets to learn from home and the courses students learning online will not be anything less than or at least same as one can get from in class learning."
 
All your variants are wrong. Just use a simple past.
 
Say:

I always admire those who write simply and get straight to the point.

I suggest that you write shorter, simpler sentences.

I think this should be simple and clear enough - Classes will be conducted online like in school.
