Edmodo, the popular online learning and social networking application widely used in school settings, announced that it was shutting its doors halfway through August, leaving users of the free service a few weeks to gather their content (if they could) and find an alternative. Here is the announcement. Edmodo raised around $100 million in VC funding over the years and eventually sold to a Chinese company for $135 million, who then tried to reach international country-wide sales, starting with Egypt in 2020, so over time, it appears that the company will continue down this path while ending the free offering. If I were purchasing a platform on a country-wide basis I don't think I'd be interested in one without a strong user base, so I don't really see much of a future for Edmodo here.
