UNICEF urges governments to prioritize the safe re-opening of schools when they begin easing lockdown restrictions. When reopening is not possible, UNICEF urges governments to incorporate compensatory learning for lost instructional time into school continuity and reopening plans. School opening policies and practices must include expanding access to education, including remote learning, especially for marginalized groups. Education systems must also be adapted and built to withstand future crises.

The Alliance and INEE also call on advocacy teams, cluster coordinators, and agencies that have staff seconded into government ministries, to work with the national governments to support this analysis to be undertaken from a child-centred perspective.

As a global community dedicated to advancing gender equality in, to and through education, we must leverage the power of collective action to position gender at the forefront of the COVID-19 response and enhance coherence in advocacy and communication across partner and ally organisations.
