Online Event

September means a new semester and “back to school” for many, but this year looks very different. After massive disruptions caused by the pandemic, schools around the world are now experimenting with diverse solutions to fulfil educational needs whilst responding to complex safety concerns and shifting circumstances. Some classrooms have reopened their doors to students, yet others are providing remote learning solutions or a combination of distance and in-person classes. But remote education comes with its challenges, especially for children who may not have access to a computer or internet, and for parents who are not able to provide the necessary support.

The RSA, On Think Tanks and Southern Voice are inviting education experts from around the world to reflect on these challenges and opportunities to rethink education and ensure no one is left behind. We’re particularly interested in learning about:

  • What are governments doing to support the most vulnerable children during school closures?
  • What are schools and communities doing to deliver education to the most vulnerable?
  •  What new practices and technologies may be introduced to long term education policy to help reduce inequality in education?
