Disrupting the education paradigm
At the Educational Transformation Summit, from May 5th, 2020, we explored the large-scale adoption of distance learning and identify strategies to drive deeper transformation of mainstream schooling.
As the COVID-19 situation continues to develop, we are seeing unparalleled levels of collaboration between public and private sector. Teachers, parents and students are coming together to use technology in new and remarkable ways, in particular for distance teaching and learning, at a scale never seen before. The implications for education are considerable and education leaders across the globe are responding with innovative solutions that transform how students access education.
We are seeing digital transformation unfold real-time. Together, we have an opportunity to build on each other's expertise and learnings from around the globe, and come together with a shared agenda to embrace the new paradigm.
