COVID-19 IMPACT

Virtual Education to Boost Market Growth

According to the market study on education technology, the COVID-19 saw an unanticipated surge in the education sector, which had an effect on learning. For instance, according to educational platforms the market attracted 35 million new users between the first and second quarters of 2020, which represents the expansion of the business and the sector during the pandemic crisis. Learning remotely had become second nature to both educators and students, dramatically enhancing their computer literacy, typing speed, and even tiny details like email etiquette. Although younger kids had more difficulty navigating their education online, they have overcome these difficulties and picked up new abilities that will be crucial as they age.

Universities throughout the world have reacted to COVID-19 in various ways. Some have kept face-to-face instruction going while socially isolating their students, while others have postponed all academic activity or even switched to online learning. Most universities throughout the world adopted this most recent change.
