And we have to think creatively about how to minimise the loss of education time for the poorest of pupils.Then citizens, social formations and government need to work together and urgently consider the damaging impact of this unprecedented school closure so that we can take mitigating steps in an integrated way to maximise limited resources.
There are also fewer opportunities for learning at home – and family and community resilience in terms of the economic impact of the pandemic. In countries where the infrastructure is available to all, this may be a viable option and is already being implemented creatively. Effective learning in out-of-school programmes requires monitoring and the effective mediation of the content.
Any out-of-school online or offline programmes implemented by families or communities will require that, when schools return, teachers are able to bring the disparate threads of learning into the shared learning plan of the classroom, and into a fair assessment of a pupil’s readiness to progress to the next grade.
Additionally, for 9 million pupils, schools are places where a meal is provided from Monday to Friday during school terms.Our first goal must be to educate and inform so that we help stop the spread of the virus.Teachers and educational NGOs can bring their energy and knowledge to community health activism by leading programmes to reduce the risk of the spread of the virus – but may first need to be assisted with their own anxieties and be empowered with key information.
