For centuries, this is what school for most kids looked like

...created the largest disruption to education in modern history

As teachers scrambled to get their classes online...

...and parents developed a new-found respect for their kids' teachers

But out of the disruption has come a realisation...

...to transform one of the most important sectors...

Summer camp has long been a tradition for American kids

When the pandemic hit, their classes switched to online

I could just like kind of do whatever I wanted because, like...

So, like, I'll be eating in class, sometimes falling asleep

You know I have to share, like, the living room with my sister...

Some schools in San Francisco were closed for in-person learning...

And so the city decided to lay on extra  summer classes...

Our children, particularly our very poor and low-income families...

...all had a very difficult time with distance learning...

...not because they didn't have the technology or the equipment...

...but because they didn't have the support to stay engaged in distance learning...

...nor the structure at home to provide that support for them

And so as a result we very quickly came together...

...and created the Summer Together initiative

...and this summer we were determined for this summer to be a year of recovery

...1.4bn students were out of school and university across 190 countries

By the start of 2021 schools had been wholly or partly closed...

...for about two-thirds of an academic year

While office workers transitioned to remote working fairly easily...

Tamara Gilkes Borr is The Economist's US policy correspondent...

When I heard that schools were shutting down with maybe a day of notice...

...I just couldn't even imagine how I would have picked up the pieces so quickly...

We barely had enough working computers when I was a teacher

While new technologies transformed working life in many sectors...

...education has been notoriously slow to digitise

Classrooms today looked the same as they did decades ago

Even though parents often say that they want an innovative...

...new type of education for their children...

...they often want to see the things that they saw when they were children

So there's often pushback against a new kind of education

Many of whom were sceptical about technology...

...that didn't centre on face-to-face learning

In general, education doesn't change much...

...because there's a high cost to being wrong

Why change something up when the alternative could be so much worse?

But the pandemic sparked a techceleration in education...

2.4m learners in America were given emergency internet access

The British government handed out more than 1m devices to students

Some schools even put Wi-Fi boosters on buses and drove them around towns

As demand rocketed, the edtech sector responded...

...designing apps and software to aid teachers rather than replace them

Once teachers had to suddenly become virtual...

...there was an appetite to get better technology in the classroom

And then edtech had an opportunity not only to serve those customers...

...but then they were able to get even better user data...

...and improve their products for a unique subset...

The amount of money spent on edtech globally is expected to double…

...from almost $200bn in 2019 to more than $400bn in 2025

Okay, so today we are going to be focusing on maths...

These students are getting a personalised-learning experience…

It was created by Priya Lakhani, a former barrister turned tech entrepreneur

So Century is a blend of artificial intelligence and machine-learning technology...

...with neuroscience and learning science

The idea is that it can personalise and differentiate for every student...

...no matter what age, what course, what language

And it can then use big data analytics...

...and provide educators with instant insights, deep intervention insights...

...as to what they need to do at the point of time...

...to help to increase a student's outcome

On a teacher dashboard, it will allow us to see the children...

...where they're at, how many nuggets they've completed...
