Weighing up the risks: School closure and reopening under COVID-19
In Weighing up the risks: School closure and reopening under COVID-19 — When, Why, and What Impacts?, the The Alliance and INEE have developed a balanced analysis to inform decisions based on holistic child-wellbeing as to when and why to re-open schools. This paper is meant to help decision makers frame a holistic analysis of school closure on the wellbeing of children and young people, and to consider the safe reopening of schools.
We also call on advocacy teams, cluster coordinators, and agencies that have staff seconded into government ministries, to work with the national governments to support this analysis to be undertaken from a child-centred perspective.
