E-Net is featured on the First Edition of the Newsletter from the Education Out Loud Asia-Pacific Regional Management Unit

Education Out Loud (EOL) is Global Partnership for Education’s fund for advocacy and social accountability, that supports civil society to be active and influential in shaping education policy to better meet the needs of communities, especially of vulnerable and marginalized populations.

E-Net highlighted the issue of access to quality equitable education is more challenging now and even after the lockdown because of the  “new normal” lifestyle. How could marginalized learners adapt into this high technology learning? How would they practice handwashing if there’s water shortage in schools and houses? How would the practice of social distancing be observed when a class is composed of 60 students due to inadequate classrooms? Would these learning modes lessen or increase their workload of teachers?

E-Net is pushing for a responsive national and local education and health system, appropriate financing for disasters of this type and magnitude, comprehensive school safety and safe learning community.
