Led by the Basic Education Coalition (BEC), the Governments’ Organizational Responses to COVID-19 - Igniting Interest and Institutional Capacity in EdTech study sought to understand what governments, specifically Ministries of Education (MoE), had to do organizationally to implement these programs, such as forging new partnerships, organizing and capacity building of personnel, developing or revising distance learning policies, and so on.
The information shared in this report stems from a global survey implemented across 12 countries in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and South America with 23 responses from key MoE staff, including several department directors. In doing so, the study fills a knowledge gap for the international basic education sector and provides valuable insights to inform future education systems' capacity building programming. Insights and learnings surfaced from this study provide critical data on MoE capacity, technology investment, and other emerging structural shifts and strategies to support large-scale Education Technology (EdTech) programming and digital transformation of key activities.

BEC's Early Childhood Education Working Group developed eight home-based learning infographics for parents, which are now available in French!
Nous avons développé 8 infographies pour aider les parents à soutenir l'apprentissage de leurs enfants à la maison pendant le COVID19 et au-delà.

The Basic Education Coalition (BEC) affirms that Black Lives Matter and stands in solidarity with the movement, its global allies, and all those who are taking action against racial and ethnic violence and injustice. BEC promotes global peace and prosperity through education for all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, caste, gender, sexual orientation, ability, background, culture, experience, perspective, or nationality. We condemn acts of violence fueled by systemic racism and hate in the United States that undermine our mission of promoting a better life for children around the world. Equally, we condemn the exclusion of historically underrepresented groups in our work at home and abroad.
We also believe that the development paradigm needs to increasingly shift towards a “people-first” approach, from an approach that works on behalf of people in local communities towards one that invests in the people in developing contexts themselves to prioritize problems and solutions and continuously improve over time.
By establishing the BEC Anti-Racism, Diversity, & Inclusion Task Force, we aim to support the Black Lives Matter movement and condemn racism, violence, and exclusion. We are committed to working together to build a race equity culture within our Coalition and beyond by adopting a transformational approach, by learning and evolving together, and by changing our behaviors and mindsets, both as individuals and as a group.
To encourage the broader International Basic Education community’s learning around anti-racism, diversity, and inclusion, we have compiled the following list of relevant and informative resources.

We must move beyond children’s physical needs to addressing their developmental, emotional, and mental well-being. To meet this challenge, we urge the US to redouble its commitments to early childhood development (ECD). Read our letter here.
