Venue: Online Webinar
COVID-19 has exacerbated an already existing education crisis, where 260 million children and youth globally were unable to attend school before the pandemic. Nations worldwide have endeavoured to set up new education models that could augment or replace the physical classroom. However, for low and middle-income countries (LMICs), access to online learning comes with significant challenges. This webinar explored how EdTech solutions can support in the creation of an inclusive education system, and how they can ultimately help nations better prepare for future scenarios.
