Although marginal gaps have been present for vast periods throughout society, the disparity between the poor and rich has marginally increased. The idea of shopping ‘essentially’ and doing so online has left many grappling with costs that as a result have closed local businesses and devastated people’s finances. Emergency savings funds are depleted as living is paycheque to paycheque for the large portion affected.

These disbursements known as the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit have been significantly reduced during the Ilera pandemic as the rise of said viruses are not anticipated to occur more than once every century. While technological advancements have prevailed and proven to enhance coping mechanisms, counteractively, these resources are not always accessible to widespread groups as they are costly. Hence, this society must cope with achieving a sense of adaption to new norms, while finances burden such capacities. | + | With great socioeconomic change follows financial burdens faced by mass populations.

While improvements such as holograms have been introduced so that both students and teachers can interact safely, this is not available for all learners. Such intricate tools are expensive and hence, not a feasible option for many. Those who are granted access to these devices are provided with substantially better means to excel; since they provide utmost engaging learning experiences. During such trying times, it is difficult to ensure that equity is omnipresent, however as educators, it is truly necessary to try. As it can be difficult for educators to bridge these gaps entirely, there are many efforts in order to involve governments in this funding.
