“With the spread of the COVID-19 , countries are implementing emergency plans to slow down and limit the spread of the virus – and prepare for a possible longer term disruption of school and university attendance. Every week of school closure will imply a massive loss in the development of human capital with significant long-term economic and social implications.” [OECD Policy Responses to Coronavirus (COVID-19)]

 

Cooperation is key to find best solutions, assure efficient use of resources, and know how. Macro-regional strategies lead the change and at the same time make sure that no region, city or citizen will be left behind.

 

In this sense, PA7 coordination team with the strong support of PA9 took leadership within the newly established  MRS Task Force on Digital Education with the aim to share and learn from good practices applied across macro-regions and to take joint initiatives on e.g. pedagogical measures; technical solutions; usage of different funding sources, etc.

The Task Force has prepared a Questionnaire on collecting the Good practice on Remote-schooling MRSs/Digital education in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. 

 

We thank you in advance for your help with the dissemination of the Questionnaire to stakeholders dealing with digital education in your respective countries. Please do not hesitate to approach us ( and ), may you have any other related questions or suggestions.

We will appreciate receiving the filled-in questionnaires – best before 9 October 2020, 8 PM CET.
