    THE STAR, THURSDAY 17 JUNE 2021 EDUCATION GUIDE Mathematical tools to the fore THE education sector, which includes universities, institutes and colleges, has undoubtedly been impacted by the Covid-19 pandem- ic. After the first movement control order was implemented in March last year, the industry turned to remote learning. Research sectors in universities were massively affected as well. Experimental data collection and computer simulations for research projects had to be put on hold as laboratories were closed, causing a delay in findings. But the contribution of research and technology to stop the spread of Covid-19 is praiseworthy.
