School closures in the context of Covid-19: an inequity impact assessment of Primary 2 and 3 pupils
Following Covid-19-related school closures across Rwanda, our Building Learning Foundations team commissioned an inequity impact assessment of the country’s primary-age school population to investigate how children from different backgrounds and contexts have fared during the period of closures, and to inform plans for school reopening.
Learning Renewed: ten lessons from the pandemic
The Covid-19 crisis has tested education systems in unprecedented ways. In this report, we summarize ten key lessons from the pandemic, which should be used to inform planning for the long-term reconstruction and recovery of education systems. These lessons are drawn from a thorough global review of evidence and policy throughout school closures and plans for reopening around the world,
with a particular emphasis on examples of good practice.
