While the immediate and longer-term repercussions of the pandemic should not be minimized, there are also examples emerging of ways in which the pandemic may “leapfrog” and accelerate scaling innovations in education. Rebecca Winthrop, co-director and senior fellow, and Jenny Perlman Robinson, senior fellow, at the Center for Universal Education at Brookings, discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic may provide opportunities for greater experimentation, innovation and scaling in global education, drawing from the experiences of partners in Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Jordan, the Philippines, and Tanzania.
Rebecca
also discusses her recent piece co-authored with Emiliana Vegas titled
