The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has left education in a critical state. Educational institutions have been forced to respond to new challenges that include the limits of distance learning and ensuring the quality of education. At the same time, these challenges have reaffirmed that the infrastructure needed to allow students to take high-quality lessons anytime, anywhere in the world enabled by advances in ICT technology is being laid.
