75% of female students indicate social platforms drive comparison among peers Tallo , an online platform that connects students with tailor-made opportunities and also helps its partners understand the preferences of early talent, found in a recent survey that Gen Z has a surprising perspective on social media when it comes to education.

In all, 63% of teachers said they’re concerned about their school or school district’s ability to support education online and just 34% considered their school or school districts very prepared.
