The COVID-19 pandemic changed education for students and teachers everywhere. Almost all schools had to close for months. And ready or not, students – along with teachers and families – discovered that education was suddenly possible only through remote learning.
In many places schools have moved to reopen, sometimes through a combination of face-to-face classes and learning from home. Everyone is now at some stage of getting back to normal – even if it’s a completely “new” normal.
