UNESCO has listed educational applications, platforms and resources which aim to help parents, teachers, schools and school administrators to facilitate learning and provide social care and interaction during periods of school closure.
Most of the solutions which the UNESCO has suggested are free. UNESCO does not own these solutions. The suggested solutions tend to have a wide reach, a strong user-base and evidence of impact.
