"Here, the struggle for survival has overtaken other aspects of growth, with education coming to be considered a privilege" - read the story of Vaishali http://shorturl.at/fkorM ">https://shorturl.at/fkorM&quo... @IndianExpress
The ongoing emergency will put further strain on hard-won gains in learning. Three possible scenarios: a lower average, a higher standard deviation, or a sharp increase in low learning at the bottom. @hpatrinos http://shorturl.at/dyJN2 ">https://shorturl.at/dyJN2&quo...
Impact of school closures - Over the summer, children lose the equivalent of 3 months of learning. An 88-day teacher strike during primary school reduces annual labor markets earnings by 2.99%, as well as a decline in hourly wages. http://shorturl.at/chkR5 ">https://shorturl.at/chkR5&quo... #COVID19

The Italian Lesson - "Maybe it would have happened anyway, but it’s changed how we see ourselves. The perfectionist has glimpsed a goal that’s deeper than marks out of 10. The teacher has become an accompanist and the gardener our guide." @gdnlongread http://shorturl.at/sEK58 ">https://shorturl.at/sEK58&quo...

Kids continue to surprise us - how independent, self-directed, quickly learn tech they can be #onlinelearning #COVID19 @XSEEDEd

Get the kids to the doorstep. Support but do not become a backseat driver. Let children try, fail and learn. Have conversations with your child. You will be surprised #onlinelearning #COVID19 @AshishRajpal @XSEEDEd #ParentingInLockdown
Rule of thumb 1/2 and 1/2 for online (screen): offline (activities, reading, writing) learning interactions for kids. Break screen time in to chunks #onlinelearning #COVID19
