It mentioned that this pandemic has resulted in various shutdowns. As a result, the education system significantly changed. E-learning (also known as online learning and distance learning) shows a distinctive rise.

 

The same article also stated the following:

"Even before COVID-19, there was already high growth and adoption in education technology, with global edtech investments reaching US$18.66 billion in 2019 and the overall market for online education projected to reach $350 Billion by 2025. Whether it is language apps, virtual tutoring, video conferencing tools, or online learning software, there has been a significant surge in usage since COVID-19."

 

However, there are also some challenges that students can experience with distance learning. It was supported by the information given to OECD data:

"There are, however, challenges to overcome. Some students without reliable internet access and/or technology struggle to participate in digital learning; this gap is seen across countries and between income brackets within countries. For example, whilst 95% of students in Switzerland, Norway, and Austria have a computer to use for their schoolwork, only 34% in Indonesia do."
