Education systems around the world were faced with radical and unexpected changes with the advent of COVID-19 in early 2020. Students were suddenly introduced to distance learning at home, and teachers were forced to integrate technology to a greater extent into their best practices.
In a recent publication, UNESCO's Education Sector shares resources, examples and advice for educators and teachers up to upper secondary level. The publication aims to guide them through effective distance learning models, using four categories (online, TV, radio and print) as well as eight sub-categories in low-tech, high-tech or mixed-tech contexts. The guide also offers a series of matrices to help understand the main features of these categories, and highlights the different needs of teachers.

Following the COVID-19 school closures, governments have adopted alternative distance learning solutions to ensure the continuity of quality education. Teachers and other education staff are on the front line in ensuring continuity of learning.
