👩🏻💻 Infrastructure, Investment, and Innovation: Virtual Schools in Focus. Back to School Summit Sept 10-11, NYC 🇺🇸
Virtual education demand grows as policymakers expand access, institutions scale digital models, and infrastructure investments compete with regulatory uncertainty.
Hello 👋
Last week, global education leaders convened in person at Global Skills Week to explore the future of skills and workforce development. But while strategy discussions unfolded face-to-face, the market for online learning solutions continues to expand. Kentucky lawmakers are pushing policy shifts to enable greater virtual school access, and BCCL’s partnership with Stanford Online High School reflects the rising demand for premium digital education models in new markets. Meanwhile, governments are making critical infrastructure investments—the UK is directing $45M to enhance school connectivity, while U.S. regulatory uncertainty around broadband funding creates headwinds for future investments. As providers and policymakers navigate this evolving landscape, how will virtual education models continue to scale?
