Download File (opens in a new tab) The concept of distance learning as a means to expand learning options in the south, was the focus of a study conducted in 2018-2019 among school principals, teachers and students. The findings showed little enthusiasm for this solution and even opposition to it. Following the Corona crisis and the constraints of the education system to use distance learning as a primary means of continuing learning, we are currently repeating the data collection. Here we present preliminary findings that indicate a change in attitude towards distance learning and even seeing the Corona Crisis as an opportunity to improve infrastructure and to deepen teacher and student training in using Information and Communication Technologies.
