Technology will keep universities afloat in spite of coronavirus

In his May 2020 advisory, Dr Naveed Malik, Special Advisor, Technology and Innovation for Canada-based Commonwealth of Education observed: “…Covid-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of human endeavour and none more so than education. At the height of the crisis, more than 1.725 billion learners were not receiving any education worldwide. As many countries attempt to come out of the lockdown imposed as a necessity by the pandemic, it is clear that ‘business as usual’ will no longer be a tenable proposition.”
