How Oak National Academy went from vision to virtual education in 6 days [part 1]

Oak National Academy was created in April 2020 as a rapid response to the Covid-19 pandemic, offering virtual lessons for UK school children during lockdown. By February 2021, they had reached over 100 million lessons. In an effort to make their educational content more accessible, Oak National Academy has partnered with eleven major telecoms providers in the UK to implement 'zero rating', meaning that families can access all of Oak's lessons without being charged for data or having it count towards any data limits. This initiative is particularly beneficial for students who rely on mobile data for internet access and could face significant charges for consuming large amounts of video content.
