Learning During A Pandemic

As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted learning and education systems, teachers, parents, and community members stepped up to the challenge, ensuring that children can continue learning.

Research on early childhood development tells us how important the first few years of life are to a person’s capacity to grow, learn and succeed over their lifespan. With support from Global Affairs Canada and the LEGO Foundation, we helped governments in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda create resources and toolkits to help students continue learning beyond the classroom, encourage parents and caregivers to become more involved in their children’s education, and support educators in adapting to new environments.
