According to a recent State Bank of Pakistan statement, the Corona epidemic has significantly increased the trend of internet and mobile banking in the country. Internet and mobile banking are becoming an important means of meeting the daily banking and financial needs of consumers. Their growth is expected to continue in the next quarter. Apart from the banking sector, the Internet is also being used in other sectors, in which the education sector is prominent. Schools, colleges and universities are using WhatsApp, Zoom and YouTube etc. to keep their students engaged in educational activities. Where students do not have internet and other facilities, there are also protests against online classes.
