It is upon us how to adapt and how early we adapt. Among the most important challenges created by covid-19 was how to adapt a system of education built around physical schools. With the pandemic at its peak, more than 188 countries encompassing around 91% of enrolled learners worldwide closed their schools to try to contain the virus.
