Report:  2020 – 21

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, leading to the near-total closures of schools, universities and colleges.

In response to school closures, the management  recommended the use of distance learning programmes and platforms that teachers can use to reach learners remotely and limit the disruption of education. Colleges have scrambled to find creative solutions to teaching students online, in-person but socially distant, or in a hybrid format. The  pandemic  has  created  a massive  rise  in  teleconferencing,  virtual  meetings, webinars and e-conferencing opportunities
