Although on the whole, the Shanghai education system is considered to be an advanced one, there are still issues to address in areas, such as equitable access to education, uniformly high quality of education and a digital divide between schools and districts that can aggravate digital exclusion. Universities, schools, educators, and parents have had to develop new approaches to support students' learning, organize online teaching and identifying useful and exciting online resources, and provide online support for students studying at home. This Report aims to document the emergency response and innovative experience accumulated by Shanghai in protecting students' safety and ensuring that learning is undisrupted during challenging periods.
Impact / Outcome
Among the many initiatives, Shanghai Lifelong Learning is the largest comprehensive public welfare learning website in Shanghai, which gathers a large number of lifelong learning resources. During the pandemic period, the platform integrated multiple resources such as Shanghai education MOOCs for elderly, community education microcourses, Cloud View Classroom for Shanghai citizens' lifelong learning, citizens' online learning experience project, lifelong learning humanistic walking project, and Shanghai Education Resource Center to launch and create the "Class in the Air." The class was constructed to meet the different needs of home-based learners during the pandemic.
