Crisis Mode with Didier Jourdan and Nicola Gray

As we start wondering what school needs to look like and how we can get there, I speak with Didier Jourdan, holder of the UNESCO chair and WHO collaborating center for Global Health & Education, and Nicola Gray, Affiliated Researcher to the UNESCO Chair for Global Health & Education. We talk about their respective roles pre- and mid- COVID, the importance of reliable information, inequalities and those students with long term conditions, the impact of school closures on students and on COVID, conditions for re-opening schools, long-term implications, strategies for re-opening, challenges for social distancing in the classroom, and the actual question we’re asking when we ask “When can we re-open?”
