Dear friends!

We gather leading teachers from each country to make quality education available around the world. Coronovirus intervened in the plans for the forum and forced us to postpone the forum. Since coronavirus affects not only the Global Pedagogical Forum, coronavirus affects all spheres of life on earth, we decided to try to understand this issue and collect the opinion of leading virologists from each country.
