Additionally, the number of students enrolled in online university courses has increased significantly in the past year, with many universities reporting a significant increase in their online course offerings and enrollment.Going forward, the online university education segment is expected to continue its growth trajectory, driven by the increasing demand for remote and flexible learning options, as well as advancements in technology that allow for more personalized and engaging learning experiences.
