COVID-19 has shut down traditional education programs throughout South Asia, from primary education to higher education. This panel will discuss the unique challenges the region is facing in the education sector, such as access to technology and the potential long-term effects of distance learning. Additionally, the panelists will address two pressing questions:
- What will be the short- and long-term effects of this disruption to education?
- How are countries responding and preparing to mitigate these effects?
