We need a new experience to get educated, and this is also being realized by the schools, institutes, universities, and tech companies who are providing such tools and tech to help us to teach kids in the age of coronavirus. As we have witnessed from our own experience, some schools were able to train teachers, roll out remote learning quickly. On the other side, almost 1.18 billion children, according to UNESCO, are impacted by the COVID-19 schools, universities shut down. We need new tools and techniques to help us get educated kids and ourselves.

According to the report published by Worldbank, “The COVID-19 Pandemic: Shocks to Education and Policy Responses”, they have outlined global shocks to education are:

  • Learning will decline and dropouts will increase, especially among the most disadvantaged
  • Health and safety will also suffer, without the support and structure that schools provide.
  • And Student dropout will rise, with many students leaving schooling forever, and the higher dropout will be concentrated in disadvantaged groups. When schools reopened after the Ebola crisis cost nearly an entire academic year in Sierra Leone, girls were 16 percentage points less likely to be in school. Higher dropout will likely be accompanied by increased child labor and child marriage for children and adolescents

Few examples on the emerging technologies how they are shaping are:
