🆕📄 New EdTech Report: A Year into the Pandemic

Good morning,

We hope you feel well rested today because we have something new for you: our latest report on how education systems responded to the pandemic and where we are heading!

Now that we’re a year into the pandemic, we decided to explore what happened- what were we missing and where are we heading?

For instance, we were surprised 😧 to find that:

• French students lost ~30 days of school between March and May 2020, likely to have increased during the Autumn and Spring terms

• 2 in 5 UK students were learning for 2.5 hours or less / day between March and June 2020

• Without effective catch-up programmes, students affected by lost classroom time are expected to experience significant losses to their earnings across their lifetimes

• What we were missing: Why weren’t education systems ready for the pivot to distance learning?

• Priorities moving forward: What should be the focus of education systems in the period ahead?

• Where we are heading: Where do we expect acceleration and mass adoption of edtech across education systems?

As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out 📩  info@brighteyevc.com.

Many thanks,

Alex, Ben, Sarah, Hege, Rhys & David
