A new report, “Prioritizing Learning During Covid-19”, provides recommendations from the Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel, an independent, cross-disciplinary body composed of leading education experts, including a Nobel Prize winner. This report draws on insights from the latest research to document the devastating impacts of Covid-19 and countries’ responses to the pandemic. It offers guidance on how education systems in low- and middle-income countries can respond to the damage caused by the pandemic and make sure that learning needs for all students, especially the most marginalized, are addressed. Join us for the launch of a new Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel report recommending the most effective ways to keep children learning during and post-pandemic. More information: [ Ссылка ]
