Waking up to a world with COVID is the new norm for children around the globe. Many of these children lost, and are still losing, months of learning as a consequence of school closure. Thanks to good risk management and swift action by the Saudi government and its technology partners, Tatweer Education Holding, Microsoft KSA, and Link Development, over 6.5 million children in Saudi Arabia have been able to access education despite the virus and compensate for lost learning days using the power of Microsoft Teams and Azure.
