As was widely reported, when the Covid-19 pandemic caused schools around the world to (as they say) pivot to remote learning, we learned in a hurry that students from low-income or otherwise disadvantaged circumstances were unable to participate fully in online classes. This caused schools to rethink how these students were supported. According to this article there might be a lingering effect as these same schools now have a new perspective on how disadvantaged students might not be able to participate fully in in-person learning as well. So in some countries (the article mentions places like the United States and Iran) additional funding is being directed toward low-income school districts or directly to students themselves. It's not nearly enough, but it's a start.
