Most governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to UNESCO, these nationwide closures are impacting almost 70% of the world’s student population. Several other countries have implemented localized closures impacting millions of additional learners.

The severe short-term disruption is felt by many families around the world: home schooling is not only a massive shock to parents’ productivity, but also to children’s social life and learning. Teaching has moved online, on an untested and unprecedented scale. Student assessments has also moved online, with a lot of trial and error and uncertainty for everyone.
