Why Vue.js Is the Best Choice for Online Learning Platforms
When building a scalable K12 educational platform or online school, choosing the right frontend framework is critical. Here’s why Vue.js is a top choice for EdTech:

• ⚡ Fast load times for students and teachers across devices
• 🧩 Component-based architecture for reusable educational features
• 📚 Support for real-time dashboards, notifications, calendars, and grading systems
• 🧠 Intuitive syntax, perfect for mixed-skill dev teams
• 🛠️ Ecosystem of tools: Vue 3, Vuetify, Pinia, Vuex, Vite
