Covid-19 & Children Some countries are starting to reopen schools as others develop plans to do so following widespread and extended closures due to COVID-19. Using data from two surveys and 164 countries 2 , this research brief describes the educational strategies countries are putting into place, or plan to, in order to mitigate learning impacts of extended school closures, particularly for the most vulnerable children. In addition, it will highlight emerging good practices. 1 The authors would like to thank colleagues from the Global Education Monitoring Report, the World Bank, and UNICEF country and regional offices who reviewed and provided valuable insights to this paper. 2 Two rounds of education tracker data from UNICEF country offices were used: In the period April-May 2020, 134 countries responded to the first round and 84 countries to the second, focused on school reopening. Data from a joint UNESCO-UNICEF-World Bank survey on educational responses to COVID-19 from May-June 2020, distributed to national Ministries of Education, included responses from 118 countries. Accounting for overlaps, information from 164 unique countries was considered for this brief.
