Revolutionary contact lenses, VIRIS, opened new avenues of change and modification within the education system. VIRIS became an overarching invention, of which its impacts filtrated school curriculums, school funding systems and the pedagogical ~~approaches~~ used in classrooms.

In the same way school boards provide students with technological resources like iPads and Chromebooks, a similar initiative was put in place by The Ministry of Education in 2028 to fund Ontario public school boards, in order to provide students with the virus-detecting technology. This initiative raised issues of inequitable funding, due to unequal distribution of investment money between school districts and regions. More populous areas, saw greater amounts of funding, compared to cases in smaller, less populous regions and districts. As of 2040, schools situated on Indigenous reserves remain inadequately unfunded by the government to provide students and teachers with VIRIS lenses.

VIRIS has become an overarching invention that has revolutionized social, cultural, economic and political contexts of the world. As a result, in 2026 The Ministry of Education released updated Kindergarten - Grade 12 curriculums, with modified and adapted curriculum goals and expectations.

Social Sciences and Humanities (a course offered at the secondary level), saw significant adaptations in its curriculum, particular in the following subsections: Equity Studies, Health Studies, Sociology and Psychology. In the same way schools address issues of race and intersectionality, teachers teach students about societal, racial and economic discrimination and marginalization created from the invention of VIRIS. In courses like Psychology and Sociology, students discuss how VIRIS has transformed the way people see the world. An emphasized topic in these courses is the stigmatization created towards people who cannot afford VIRIS, against people that are labeled "infected" and communities with higher rates of infected residents.
