What was the state of global education when the COVID-19 outbreak started, how has COVID-19 changed education and what are we learning from the pandemic's effects on children? In our latest podcast, UNICEF Innocenti's Chief of Communication, Dale Rutstein talks with Matt Brossard and Tom Dreesen, from our education team, about what the evidence says about improving education outcomes for children amid COVID-19. UNICEF Innocenti's new COVID-19 research briefs on education provide new analysis and findings based on new or recent data sets on: Parental Engagement in Children’s Learning: Insights for remote learning response during COVID-19: https://www.unicef-irc.org/publications/1091-parental-engagement-in-childrens-learning.html and Promising practices for equitable remote learning Emerging lessons from COVID-19 education responses in 127 countries: https://www.unicef-irc.org/publications/1090-promising-practices-for-equitable-remote-learning-emerging-lessons-from-covid.html We hear from Matt and Tom on what went into this research and why the findings are important for children everywhere.
