The education and training system was one of the most affected during the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020. It is estimated, according to UNESCO, that the school closures affected about 70% of the total learners’ population worldwide.

Most of the education providers suddenly had to shift away from the classroom in many parts of the globe, to an online learning environment.

We can’t tell yet whether the adoption of online learning will continue to persist in post-pandemic reality, and how such a shift would impact the education worldwide. But in this episode we’ll try to look at the online learning and we’ll answer the question whether online learning would be the new normal for education and training globally. 

We discussed with Michael Lightfoot, Education expert and Albert Canigueral, Explorer of the future of work and digital platforms
