The International Publishers Association (IPA) has joined UNESCO’s Global Education Coalition to support countries in scaling up their best distance learning practices and reaching children and youth who are most at risk.
Many educational publishers have come up with innovative online solutions but pupils, teachers and parents in some countries and regions have been looking for more work in this direction.
The various stakeholders have taken the responsibility of working together to stop the health crisis and the undoubted economic crisis from becoming an educational crisis as well.
International governmental and non-governmental organizations, media, private companies, civil society and non-profit organizations, networks and associations have quickly mobilized to support the coalition.
The diverse list of coalition members will bring together expertise to build the missing links for education to continue remotely.
The publishers are expected to be playing the key role in strengthening and enriching the content that will be brought to pupils learning away from their educational campuses.
