The Qatari education sector is embracing a digital evolution as schools adapt to a new normal amid the pandemic.
During the COVID-19 crisis, more than 1.7 billion students were affected globally, according to the World Bank. In the last year, Qatari teaching institutions have turned to education technology (edtech) to enable continuous learning amid coronavirus breakouts.
