With schools and colleges locking their doors amidst the pandemic, students and teachers find themselves in a unique learning situation.

Current EdTech solutions consist of both hardware and software, and cover all stages of learning. Continued VC interest has fueled a host of offerings in the market catering to the unique demands of all stakeholders.

The tussle between private and public in terms of who should adopt EdTech is another factor in the industry. Even before the lockdown hit, more than 60% of private schools in the UK had access to some sort of online learning portal.

41% of primary schools, 76% of secondary schools, and 80% of higher education institutions have identified cyber attacks or breaches in the past 12 months.

The majority of learners worldwide don't have a fixed access to the Internet or devices to study. Users in Latin America make up 10.1% of the world's Internet users, while those in Africa make up just 11.5%.

Only 4 out of 10 teachers in K-12 education believe that their school is “behind the curve” when it comes to adoption of digital solutions.
