Since the Coronavirus has forced many countries into lockdown, parents all over the world have been concerned about the impact of the pandemic on their children’s education.

Along with the economy and the small business sector, there’s little doubt that education is one of the areas that will be most impacted by the virus.

This was the topic on the informative and fascinating podcast Think Outside The Classroom, where Bradley Elliott had the chance to speak to Harvard Professor Robert Lue about the global pandemic we all face at the moment, and how it is shaping not just the future of education, but the very face of it today.

Robert Lue is an innovator and pioneer in online education. He’s a Professor of the Practice of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Faculty Director of the Harvard Ed Portal, UNESCO Chair on Life Sciences and Social Innovation, and the Chancellor at Valenture Institute.

Valenture Institute is an online high school, offering an education that rivals that of top private schools. It not only prepares your child for tertiary education at any institution across the globe, but also prepares them to make a lasting and important impact on the world that they live in.
