The Covid-19 pandemic has ushered in a period of educational disruption on an unprecedented scale. During this time of crisis, education will not be business as usual, and EdTech alone cannot close the learning gap. It will be dedicated teachers and resilient educators who will ensure learning doesn’t st op — but they could be helped by the right EdTech tools. However, the digital divide means that internet and mobile network access varies greatly in middle and low - income countries. In...

This policy brief explores how EdTech can support a climate-resilient education system, drawing on insights from stakeholder consultations and EdTech Hub's research on learning continuity in response to climate emergencies following the 2022 Pakistan floods. While recovery efforts often focus on restoring physical infrastructure, we argue that a shift to long-term resilience against climate emergencies can be supported by strategic and contextually relevant use of EdTech. The brief...
