Tariffs are impacting the educational services market by increasing costs of imported digital devices, educational software, classroom technology, and training infrastructure used in modern learning environments.

These tariffs are raising implementation costs and slowing technology upgrades. However, they are also encouraging domestic edtech development, localized content creation, and increased investment in regionally produced educational technologies.

This model offers students flexibility in consuming lecture material at their own pace, enabling them to come to class prepared with specific questions. Notably, the Flipped Learning Network reports that 71% of teachers who implemented the flipped classroom noticed improved grades, and 80% reported enhanced student behavior. Several educational service providers, including esteemed institutions such as the University of California, Clemson University, Boston University, Harvard University, University of Michigan, and Texila American University, are employing the flipped classroom approach to enhance student learning experiences.
