This blog is part of a series looking at challenges and opportunities in education as we come out of the pandemic, based on interviews with a range of experts carried out during 2021.
The Covid-19 pandemic triggered severe disruption across society. Education was no exception, with every life stage, from the early years through to schools and higher education, all impacted.
As countries recover, many have urged against a return to business as usual, saying we can instead “build back better” –by looking afresh at deep-seated challenges, and collectively taking forward learnings from our pandemic crisis responses.
In this blog series, we have looked to widen the conversation on what building back better could really mean in education, with views from a wide range of education experts on what the country should focus on post-pandemic.
