The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the global shift toward remote learning, with millions of students forced to adapt to online education. Even as schools have reopened, the legacy of remote learning is here to stay, reshaping how education is delivered worldwide. Online platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and Khan Academy have grown in popularity, offering flexible, self-paced learning opportunities. This shift has also democratized education, allowing students from remote or underserved areas to access world-class courses. However, the transition has not been without challenges. The digital divide—lack of access to reliable internet and technology—disproportionately affects students from low-income families and rural areas. Additionally, concerns about the quality of education and the social development of students in remote learning environments persist. As the world adjusts to this new model, finding a balance between traditional in-person education and online learning will be critical for the future of global education.
