According to a recent Kaspersky survey, more than half of children in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region (55%) who switched to remote learning due to the pandemic prefer in-person education. 

Although the percentage is high, with almost 1 in 2 Asian kids liking face-to-face classroom more than online sessions, it is lowest compared with other regions globally. Children in Latin America have the strongest preference for the traditional education (75%), followed by Africa (73%) and the Middle East (58%).

Majority of kids in APAC dislike learning online because of having to spend so much time in front of a screen (74%). Frequent technical problems are also a bummer (60%).

There is no denying that we are all yearning for freedom and the possibilities that this new world we live in has to offer – and thanks to advancements in technology, we are set to make our world bigger than it ever was but have you ever wondered if good is “good” enough?
