while still in the midst of a global pandemic, reflection can reveal the many positive developments and lessons the crisis has brought.
Regarding education and vital grass-roots development in the light of coronavirus-related changes, educators have had to scramble to find ways to continue their efforts using a myriad of digital channels after the forced closure of schools and higher learning institutions nationwide. Teachers have fought heroic battles to keep in touch with pupils via e-mail and even WhatsApp, to maintain momentum for the school or varsity year.
Despite the enormous hardships due to Covid-19, the lockdown has accelerated key building blocks in the context of digital transformation: many companies and institutions are fully embracing cloud computing and flexible, scalable digital solutions, for example. And the education sector has gained invaluable lessons about what is required to keep abreast with global developments.
