she explained about how much burden of study students are feeling
Is this sentence fine?

Should I not use "about" before "explain" always?

Thanks for your help in advance

She explained [STRIKE]about [/STRIKE]how much burden of study students are feeling.

No, it needs to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

Should I not use "about" before "explain" always?

It's usually best not to use 'about'. 'About' is included in the meaning of 'explain'.
"She explained how much the students were feeling the burden of study."
"She explained how the students were feeling so much burden from study."

You certainly wouldn't use it before the word "explain"! I assume you meant "after". However, as Raymott said, the word "about" is not required at all when we use "explain".
