With this pandemic, it has been realized that the new normal for education will require us to reboot all we have known about school education. While everybody seems to associate virtual learning seems to be the new normal, it certainly isn’t the whole story of education. Virtual learning has become a key element of learning, but there are other facets to pay attention to while defining the new normal. In this context, FICCI ARISE has initiated a webinar series in partnership with Cambridge University Press, “Schools post lockdown – What? Why? How?” These webinars will be held on May 30, June 3 and June 10 2020, where in the education stalwarts from India and abroad will reflect on the What? Why? And how? of schools post-lockdown.
In the midst of dealing with the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to start planning for how schools can re-open! Through this webinar series we aim to find out innovative practices to help education systems re-build equity and inclusive programmes for effective education.
