The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of online education, with most schools shifting from offline to remote education instantly. Prior to the pandemic, 60% of Russian schools did not use distance learning, and only 20% of teachers had experience with remote teaching tools. Despite the challenges, teachers adapted to online teaching, and the continuity of the academic process was sustained due to a well-developed online education ecosystem and healthy competition among platforms. A study by Yandex found that teachers combine digital and non-digital tools, and their workload has increased due to increased communications with parents. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of digital literacy and cybersecurity in education, with a growing demand for digital tools and security lessons for teachers.
