States of emergency: education in the time of COVID-19

Published: October 2021   Journal: NORRAG Special Issue

COVID-19 has shaken up – and continues to shake up – education systems all over the world in ways that we have yet to fully appreciate, much less address. The global COVID-19 pandemic has left few, if any, people, institutions and systems unaffected. Suddenly in 2020, issues that had previously been dismissed as “Third World Problems” became lived experience for many who had previously been able to ignore them if they chose to. Those who were already marginalised experienced the worst suffering. The ongoing pandemic is marked by continuities of the inequalities present before: both between North and South, as well as between “economic Souths in the geographic North and Norths in the geographic South.” (Mahler, 2017, p. 1). Enduring, complex and complexly interconnected inequalities (and insufficient responses to them) have been exacerbated by this additional systemic shock. Inadequate action to address these issues before this pandemic means that vulnerabilities during it are further aggravated. Moreover, where sudden disasters shock a system, less attention and funding is given to existing long-term, slow burn stressors. Shocks related to COVID-19 continue to have devastating effects on pupils, teachers and parents, and also on the ways we can think about the purposes and practices of education – and also research into education.

COVID-19 & Children: Rapid Research Response

UNICEF Innocenti is mobilizing a rapid research response in line with UNICEF’s global response to the COVID-19 crisis. The initiatives we’ve begun will provide the broad range of evidence needed to inform our work to scale up rapid assessment, develop urgent mitigating strategies in programming and advocacy, and preparation of interventions to respond to the medium and longer-term consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. The research projects cover a rapid review of evidence, education analysis, and social and economic policies.
