Join us on Monday 24 January at 15:00 (Paris time) How learning continued during the COVID-19 pandemic Global lessons from initiatives to support learners and teachers Q&A WEBINAR OECD EDUCATION AND SKILLS WEBINAR SERIES

About this webinar School closures became common around the world during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with the task of keeping learning going without school facilities, educators and governments quickly adapted and many innovations emerged. The OECD, the World Bank, Harvard’s Global Education Innovation Initiative and HundrED have documented a range of examples of these efforts from the first wave of school closures, looking at low-, middle- and high-income countries on all continents and drawing some lessons from these fast-paced responses to reimagine a post-pandemic version of education. Join us as we launch a new report that outlines 45 of these education continuity stories and discuss how such initiatives can contribute to the current pandemic situation and the overall development of education worldwide. Speakers include: Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills Jaime Saavedra, Global Director for Education, World Bank Fernando Reimers, Professor of Practice in International Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education Saku Tuominen, Education innovation specialist and Founder, HundrED

Centering Equity in Digital Learning for Every Learner Everywhere WEBINAR | THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 12:00 PM PT / 3:00 PM ET Research shows that student performance in gateway courses is a direct predictor of college success; however, historically minoritized student groups are often underserved in these courses, resulting in decreased retention. Digital learning can be a catalyst for improving course outcomes for minoritized students, and educators also need awareness and tools to address the affective, interpersonal, and situational challenges that these student groups experience. Join this exploration of strategies for faculty and institutional leaders that center equity in digital learning transformation at scale. Are you unable to attend?
