  • R Research Project/Report/Study

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

In response to COVID-19, the Education Development Trust has been conducting rapid research on its implications for vulnerable girls, both in terms of their access to remote learning and life skills interventions, and in considering their return to education after the pandemic. Education Development Trust's recent research on reaching marginalized girls, highlights the importance of designing remote learning solutions for inclusion, making use of low-tech and no-tech strategies to increase the accessibility of education for girls without digital devices, as well as asynchronous lessons to enable girls to learn around their domestic or income-generating responsibilities. They also highlighted the evidence supporting the inclusion of female representatives as instructors in online, video- or radio-based educational programs to help to improve the participation of marginalized girls.
