Pakistan’s 2022 floods have left one-third of the country submerged in flood water and almost 26,000 schools have been destroyed, leaving the most vulnerable at risk of falling deeper into poverty and further behind in education.
While educational technology (EdTech) is not the “most pressing issue… in times of crises”, it nonetheless has the potential to support flood-affected communities from falling further behind in education — if it is used in a feasible and cost-effective way. The Government of Pakistan and development partners are collaborating to respond to the crisis. In
doing so, they have leveraged global evidence from education in emergencies and national lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic to support learning. - Find more resources here https://edtechhub.org/2022/12/06/considering-edtech-in-climate-emergencies/
