The overall study follows a qualitative research approach with the motivation to understand the perceptions of education experts regarding the effectiveness of remote and remedial learning programs implemented in several countries. It includes three main sections that have been organized in a chronological order within this report: the first one, “What can we learn from education emergency responses in low- and middle-income countries?”. The second section, “Is remote learning perceived as effective? An in-depth analysis across five countries”. The third section, “What works with remote and remedial strategies? an analysis across 13 countries”.
Impact / Outcome
In general, multimodal delivery systems were perceived as an effective strategy to increase coverage, if education policy makers thoughtfully planned and implemented remote learning programs and considered contextual factors.
