Education disruption has severe and inequitable consequences. What issues and strategies should be taken into consideration for education continuity and sustainable reopening of schools? How can elementary, secondary schools and universities in the U.S and Canada be safely reopened—and stay open—during the Covid-19 pandemic? In this seminar, we will hear from a range of experts across public health and education who have been at the forefront of policy guidance. This webinar will focus on more inclusive policy considerations that go beyond Covid-19 to address pandemic-related and pre-existing inequities in schooling for recovery.
