Global Economy and Development
Founded in 2006, the Global Economy and Development program at Brookings aims to shape the policy debate on how to improve global economic cooperation and fight global poverty and sources of social stress. With a long-term vision of strong, sustainable, and balanced growth for a prosperous world, the program undertakes high-quality research, identifies target audiences and policy opportunities, and shares its findings to inform new policy solutions.
No country that has reopened schools so far has had the pandemic under such little control. That’s what’s complicating everything for schools.
It’s emergency education. [Efforts to continue classes online is] trying to provide at least some educational opportunity, but it’s nowhere near what kids were receiving in schools.
Education should be, not only part of the investment for the future, but it's really a solution to [COVID-19] recovery. And I think that's important for developing countries in particular.
