Nowadays, more and more students from all over the world have to conduct their studies online. So, should we try to reduce the percentage of students involved with online education, or should it be made more widespread?

There are certain advantages to developing online education tools. E-learning is cheap and easy to control. Moreover, it allows students to keep their learning process from wherever they want. They don't need to spend time or money on their way to school; just have a simple smartphone or laptop with an Internet connection.

On the other hand, there are some significant arguments against e-learning. Firstly, any troubles with power or the Internet will stop students from studying. Secondly, lots of people find it really difficult to concentrate on their studies while being away from school. There are lots of distractions at home, which makes it hard for many to study online well.

To sum it up, there are arguments both for and against the development of online learning. I strongly believe that it is a helpful tool that may be used wisely and make the process of studying more comfortable and fun for both students and teachers.
