Since December 2019, the outbreak of the New Coronavirus COVID-19, which started
in Wuhan, China, has been affecting the lives of the elderly and children in all
the contaminated countries.

According to UNESCO, “as of 9 March, **29 countries** in three different continents
have announced or implemented school closures.” The shutdown of schools nationwide
in countries like: China, Iran, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, UAE, South Korea, etc. is 
affecting approximately **296 million children and youth**.

Everyone understands that the aim of this complete or partial shutdown is to avoid
any more COVID-19 contamination. However, in the midst of this crisis, a brilliant
solution for education can definitely come in handy.
