During this insightful discussion, the speakers shared their learnings, thoughts and experiences around the following points:
COVID19 has disrupted India's education delivery system to a great extent and the children in government schools have been the most impacted. How can we ensure safe opening up of campuses and bring back the confidence of the parents to send their children to campuses?
How do we ensure safety along with the quality education delivery on campuses?
What are the key learnings for social sector organisations working on education programs, to accommodate disruptions in future?
How are CSR funders and philanthropic organisations looking at investing in education programs in future and what is the recipe for 'better education' delivery?
What are existing best practices among businesses and nonprofits that can be seen as future models of education?
How do we build the capacities of government institutions and strengthen the whole education ecosystem step by step?
