With 77 schools in Europe, North America, Latin America, China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and India, Nord Anglia’s EdTech analysis shows:

• 48.9% of students opted for wellbeing and global citizenship activities, which were especially popular in China (50.1%) and India (50.4%). Globally, these courses grew in popularity by 9.5% compared to the same period last year.
• 23.3% of students chose courses on developing creativity, with students in Europe (32.5%) and Southeast Asia & the Middle East (31.9%) engaging most frequently in these activities.
• 19.8% of students selected Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM) courses. STEM activities were the most popular with students studying in the Americas, selected by 26.8% of students.

Dr Elise Ecoff, Group Education Director, Nord Anglia Education, said: “What our latest EdTech analysis shows is the extent to which digital teaching and learning has become ‘learning as usual’. From our conversations with students, digital learning is just part of their education now that the majority of schools have returned to on-campus lessons. We’re using the experiences of our teachers to continually develop exciting new learning content for our students for the classroom and at home.”
