The Future of Education is Digital

Too Long; Didn't Read

The 2019 Pandemic had a lot of different impacts on the education sector. The major drawback of COVID was that schools were closed, and in-person education came to a standstill. In the initial phases of the pandemic, the online systems of many different institutions were very weak. With time, however, some schools found a way to accommodate their students. They did it with the internet, ERPs, interactive programs, and with the help of reluctant parents (of course). Interestingly, online learning has been shown to increase information retention in less time. According to WeForum.Org, more than 1.2 billion students in 184 countries are affected by school closures due to the pandemic. It's reasonable to assume that the adoption of online teaching will remain in a post-pandemic world (if we ever get there.) Countries like Denmark and South Korea are still using online platforms to teach. There has been a visible improvement in online education because of this, with investments reaching up to US$18.66 billion in 2019. The overall cost of this progress is estimated to be around $350 Billion by 2025.
