We know from previous crises that when education is interrupted, the poorest and most vulnerable children may never return to school, leaving them exposed to terrible risks. It means reshaping education systems so that children graduate with 21st century skills, ready for the new world before them. This is the moment to re-imagine education systems, embrace technology, remove the barriers for the poorest and give all children the same access to modern education systems. Embarking on this huge undertaking means realising that business as usual is not an option. If we learn the right lessons now, we can truly build back better — for our children and their children.
