The new Lenovo 13w Yoga with up to Windows 11 Pro powered by AMD Ryzen 5000 U-Series processors for mobile delivers power and performance for students and educators.
According to UNESCO, more than 1.5 billion students 1 have been impacted by the pandemic and many countries have been affected by extended school closures1 . Although classes are thankfully reopening, many continue to endure disrupted agendas and at the time of writing more than 35 million learners are still unable to benefit from classroom instruction1 .
The longer-term focus needs to be on learning recovery and returning the trajectory beyond pre-Covid levels. A recent UNESCO report points out that we collectively have an opportunity to reinvent education to be more resilient, equitable and efficient in delivering learning for all. Institutions need to invest in structured learning programs that provide access to technology that can amplify classroom-based experiences.
The tools need to be dynamic to support distance learning solutions and computer-assisted learning to help maximize education continuity. As a technology provider, Lenovo is committed to partnering with customers to develop and deliver innovative solutions to enhance learning today and into the future.
