Education will be a foundation for a better post-Covid-19 world
The April 7, 2020, International Labor Organization assessment of the impact of Covid-19 on jobs by industry, country, and employment category makes for sobering but essential reading. “The worst global crisis since WWII” will be devastating to many industries and livelihoods.
Education will clearly be shaken up (especially in delivery models—video learning being just one tool), but the ILO considers it a low-risk sector (compared with entertainment or manufacturing, for example).
Our role in helping education institutions, teachers, and learners succeed and re-skill couldn’t be more important foundations for building a more sustainable and durable post-Covid-19 world.
