I think the Khan Academy can help people a lot with its online videos. Students who have fallen behind at school or who have to miss school because of illness or another reason can still keep up with their classmates by using them. The only problem is that it isn’t available to all people everywhere because people must have access to the Internet. However, if a community doesn’t have access to a school, teachers or textbooks and other teaching resources then all they would need would be a computer with Internet access to study school subjects.
