A little bit more about the topic of discussion:

Students now have to work online or remotely currently, and many students in developing countries now have to work from home but often lack data and devices to learn on and land up dropping out. What actions can we take now for the short and long term? How can we educate the youth to develop the right skills needed for the future, and what are those skills? How do teachers need to adapt to more of a remote working environment?
