How do we create regulatory support for a fully-online/fully-remote education system, especially in countries (like India) where poor populations would benefit the most from it as there's a lack of physical educational infrastructure, fees can be unaffordable for many and quality of education can be quite poor?

Online/remote education is great for introverted kids who would otherwise consume a whole lot of energy (and psychologically suffer) just by being surrounded by other kids (some of whom are plain mean or even bullies). Some disabled kids would thrive online, not having to deal with all the hassles they need to go through just to be at the school and also with better audio-visual elements like captions and being able to turn up the volume or use a larger monitor etc. I'm 200% supporting it.
Absolutely. Khan Academy has helped so many students, young and old. Me included.
Online teaching is good & save costs. (parents can be with kids at home and no worry about them...parents can save money for fuels...students who have to travel for long miles for visiting universities can be online at their homes & study without stress...).Online is always beneficial...
Online education is great for adults and those with disabilities as well. I could continue working toward my Bachelor degree if I could do it fully online. I have 1 year left, but was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Now I'm looking at other avenues for education. I'm learning coding online. People with disabilities, and life-long learners such as myself, can also benefit from online courses.
Fascinating insight into how online education can be a game-changer! It's encouraging to see innovative teachers adapting their methods to support diverse learning needs. As Bill Gates often emphasizes, personalized learning approaches can make a huge difference in student outcomes. I'm curious to learn more about the specific techniques this Teacher of the Year is implementing.
