Girls' Education and COVID-19: What Past Shocks Can Teach Us About Mitigating the Impact of Pandemics Year of publication: 2020 Author: Lucia Fry | Philippa Lei Corporate author: Malala Fund Almost 90% of the world’s countries have shut their schools in efforts to slow the transmission of COVID-19. Alongside school closures, governments are also imposing social distancing measures and restricting the movement of people, goods, and services, leading to stalled economies. While this disruption to education and the expected reduction in global growth have far-reaching effects for all, their impact will be particularly detrimental to the most disadvantaged students and their families, especially in poorer countries. The educational consequences of COVID-19 will last beyond the period of school closures, disproportionately affecting marginalized girls.This paper uses insights from previous health and financial shocks to understand how the current global pandemic could affect girls’ education outcomes for years to come. It details how governments and international institutions can mitigate the immediate and longer-term effects of the pandemic on the most marginalized girls. The paper considers the 2014- 15 Ebola epidemic and the 2008 global financial crisis, which both have some parallels to the impact of COVID-19. 
Learning to Leapfrog: Innovative Pedagogies to Transform Education Year of publication: 2019 Author: David Istance | Alejandro Paniagua | Rebecca Winthrop | Lauren Ziegler Corporate author: Center for Universal Education at Brookings This report follows up on the book “Leapfrogging Inequality: Remaking Education to Help Young People Thrive,” published in 2018 by the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution. The book argued the importance of education leapfrogging–creating transformative shifts rather than incremental evolution by harnessing the power of innovation to advance a breadth of skills. The book put forth a framework for leapfrogging that outlined two core elements (teaching and learning, and recognition of learning) and two support elements (people and places, and technology and data).This report focuses on the teaching and learning element of the leapfrog framework, especially on pedagogical approaches and the role of teachers, but draws on the others as relevant. It does not attempt to be exhaustive and does not pretend to address neither all education policy variables, nor critical system factors such as political will and adequate funding, nor demand-side factors such as student and parent support for innovative approaches.
