| Summary: | In this note the reader will learn : The
new school year began with online classes for the first
time. How the Ministry Of Education (MOE) and local
education offices secured digital devices to lend to
students in need, and schools prepared online class
guidelines, including the class hours, format, attendance,
and evaluation. How the government mobilized academia,
government-led institutions, and the private sector to
overcome technical problems, increased burden of teachers,
and equity issues in learning from online classes. In
preparing for the physically reopening of schools, it is
important to prepare strategies to respond to any additional
extended breaks if the virus comes back and to enable local
authorities and schools to develop their reopening plans to
prioritize the needs of students and the local community,
and implement it working with the community partners. Using
this crisis to build an education system that can reach
everyone and be resilient and sustainable in a time of crisis. |
