Not all students learn the same way. Academic researchers have found that, just as every individual has their own fingerprint, every single student looks, sees, and senses instruction differently.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an education framework specifically designed to reach ALL students at the same time. That’s why, over the last 30 years — and with particularly explosive growth in the last decade — this new, evidence-based approach for learning has steadily gained ground. In fact, UDL has become experts’ preferred way to design learning experiences around the world and USAID is now requiring the UDL approach to be integrated into all new education programming.
BEC’s Gender & Social Inclusion (GSI) working group banded together with Brooklyn Story Lab to develop a quick-and-simple overview of this inclusive education approach. Our hope is that implementers, donors, school leadership, teachers, and others around the world will use this video to become better informed about UDL — and perhaps even implement it or encourage its implementation.

This brief (by BEC member FHI 360) contributes to the evidence base for education programming to improve access to, retention of and completion of education for all adolescents, especially girls and marginalized learners, past primary school grades. The barriers and strategies are globally well known. The challenge is to contextualize and localize programming while still strengthening the education systems and services that should serve all 600 million adolescent girls (ages 10–19) worldwide.

The Basic Education Coalition (BEC) Gender & Girls Education Working Group (GGE WG) consulted with several organizations that have worked with donors, governments, and communities to plan and sustain safe learning environments. While no situation is precisely the same in any school or in any country, here are some lessons these organizations have learned (in alphabetical order by country) around what fostering a safe home learning environment, as well as a safe return to school, might look like in these unprecedented times.
