HALIFAX -- Lorelei Burgess works with Oxford Learning, a company that provides tutoring services. When she read a study measuring the impact of COVID-19 on education, she wasn't surprised by the results. According to the UNESCO study, the novel coronavirus will affect more than 800 million students. There have been 79 countries that have been hit with full school closures or reduced schedules. There have also been social impacts, learning set backs, and many students have walked away from their studies. "There is still a lot of uncertainty around what we are going to find as a result of COVID-19," said Burgess.
