The presentations of the Education Ministers focused on five essential elements—the immediate actions they have taken when education was disrupted, the alternative modalities they chose to ensure that learning continued at home, the evolving roles of teachers and parents in educating learners, the efforts they put in place to reach the disadvantaged and vulnerable, and the educational policies they enacted with regard to school reopening. Best practices, lessons learned, reflections, and positive discoveries were also shared in an effort to address the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic that caused unprecedented school lock-downs.

The guidelines caution that the widespread closures of educational facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic present an unprecedented risk to children’s education and wellbeing, particularly for the most marginalized children who rely on school for their education, health, safety and nutrition.
