The section actually comes early late as it was initially set to launch late this year. The ongoing crisis though prompted them to rush the feature’s launch in order to help children as they spend their current time at home.

The global rollout will, however, be happening later as it first launches in the US. These efforts do come as a way to encourage the concept of e-learning for all students around the world who are stuck at home with their educational curriculum unfortunately interrupted.

But it will certainly be of help to anyone that wishes to learn any new skills now that may are not at work.
