Dear WERA Colleagues and Friends, On behalf of the WERA Task Force Global Challenges and Education collaborator, please receive information from the UNESCO affiliated campaign Save Our Future, namely a Communication Toolkit and Brief to promote the launch of a white paper on education responses following the global challenge of COVID-19. This white paper, entitled Save Our Future: Averting an Education Catastrophe for the World’s Children, is the result of many months of work from Save Our Future research partners, and proposes high priority actions to deliver changes to education in the coming 6-24 months. In light of the scale of the crisis, the paper focuses primarily on education from pre-primary to secondary and in particular on those children who are most left behind, including children who live in locations where the vast majority of children are not learning, as well as children from marginalized groups. The Toolkit provides background, key messages, graphics, and quotes to promote the paper on Thursday and we encourage everyone to spread the message. Please follow the links enclosed to download the white paper. Please note it will go live early Thursday morning.

Thank you for your commitment to global education and the Save Our Future campaign. |
