Thank you Lida. EBA has become an important online learning platform for formal and non-formal learners in Turkey for the last few years. Due to Covid 19, its significance for schooling has grown ever more. Currently, all schools are closed for 2 weeks until end of the week of 23 March; and all student will be provided online learning for the week of 23 March.
In recent years, we have seen online learning platforms gain traction, but in these challenging times, we realize how essential they are and will be for current and future learners, in addressing the skills needs of the 21st century.
