In light of some schools closing all over the world, I thought that it might be helpful to share some data with you on how Seneca was being used for Distance Learning in the UK at the moment!

- 113,999 new students started learning on Seneca in the last 3 days.
- 6,438 teachers started using Seneca in the last 3 days.
- The 2,957,659th person signed up to use Seneca for free.
- The 18th March 2020 was Seneca's busiest day ever with over 300,000 people using the site for distance learning.
