ACCORDING to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) Report 2020, school closures due to Covid-19 kept 90% of all students out of school, which consequentially reversed years of educational progress throughout the world.

While many education systems turned to alternative delivery modes, with online learning growing in popularity, it is estimated that remote learning remains out of reach for at least half a billion students across the globe.
