Data collected from 32 countries showed that there was significant innovation and new approaches to learning but argues that more must be done now to capitalise on what has happened – just one of the interesting headline findings in the latest survey conducted by OECD, UNESCO, UNICEF and the World Bank. Published on 1 July, this report tracks the sometimes devasting impact that the pandemic has had on school populations and shows that there was no relationship between the extent of school closures and COVID-19 infection rates across countries meaning that “school closures were not inevitable but, rather, a policy choice, often framed by a lack of institutional capacity to reconcile educational provision with health and safety.”
