Education in the Time of COVID-19 (COVID-19 Report; ECLAC-UNESCO) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) | UNESCO Santiago The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis in all areas. In the field of education, this emergency has led to the massive closure of face-to-face activities of educational institutions in more than 190 countries in order to prevent the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has argued that even before the pandemic hit, the social situation in the region was deteriorating, owing to rising rates of poverty and extreme poverty, the persistence of inequalities and growing social discontent. In this context, the crisis will have a profoundly negative impact on the various social sectors, particularly health and education, as well as on employment and poverty. Meanwhile, UNESCO has identified major gaps in educational outcomes, which are related to the unequal distribution of teachers in general, and of the best qualified teachers in particular, to the detriment of lower-income countries and regions and of rural areas, where indigenous and migrant populations tend to be concentrated.In the sphere of education, many of the measures that the region’s countries have adopted in response to the crisis are related to the suspension of face-to-face classes at all levels, which has given rise to three main areas of action: the deployment of distance learning modalities through a variety of formats and platforms (with or without the use of technology); the support and mobilization of education personnel and communities; and concern for the health and overall well-being of students.The aim of this document is to shed light on various consequences that these measures will have on educational communities in the short and medium term, and to offer key recommendations on how to manage those consequences in the best possible manner, drawing attention to opportunities for learning and innovation in the post-pandemic education system. La educación en tiempos de la pandemia de COVID-19 (Inform COVID-19; CEPAL-UNESCO) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) | UNESCO Santiago La pandemia de enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) ha provocado una crisis sin precedentes en todos los ámbitos. En la esfera de la educación, esta emergencia ha dado lugar al cierre masivo de las actividades presenciales de instituciones educativas en más de 190 países con el fin de evitar la propagación del virus y mitigar su impacto.La Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) ha planteado que, incluso antes de enfrentar la pandemia, la situación social en la región se estaba deteriorando, debido al aumento de los índices de pobreza y de pobreza extrema, la persistencia de las desigualdades y un creciente descontento social. En este contexto, la crisis tendrá importantes efectos negativos en los distintos sectores sociales, incluidos particularmente la salud y la educación, así como en el empleo y la evolución de la pobreza. Por su parte, la UNESCO ha identificado grandes brechas en los resultados educativos, que se relacionan con una desigual distribución de los docentes, en general, y de los docentes mejor calificados, en particular, en desmedro de países y regiones con menores ingresos y de zonas rurales, las que suelen concentrar además a población indígena y migrante.En el ámbito educativo, gran parte de las medidas que los países de la región han adoptado ante la crisis se relacionan con la suspensión de las clases presenciales en todos los niveles, lo que ha dado origen a tres campos de acción principales: el despliegue de modalidades de aprendizaje a distancia, mediante la utilización de una diversidad de formatos y plataformas (con o sin uso de tecnología); el apoyo y la movilización del personal y las comunidades educativas, y la atención a la salud y el bienestar integral de las y los estudiantes.El objetivo de este documento es visibilizar la diversidad de consecuencias que estas medidas tendrán sobre las comunidades educativas a corto y mediano plazo, así como plantear las principales recomendaciones para sobrellevar el impacto de la mejor manera posible, proyectando oportunidades para el aprendizaje y la innovación en la educación posterior a la pandemia.
