Education disrupted – education rethought

Preliminary findings

• 1.5bn students and their parents learned over the last two

months that learning with technology must work in the future

• Remote learning has become the lifeline for learning

but doesn’t address the social functions of schools

• Access, use and quality of online resources amplify inequality
• Accreditation at stake
• Huge needs for just-in-time professional development
• Re-prioritisation of curricula and strategies for re-opening of

schools needed

• But lots of highly innovative learning environments emerging !
