The Covid-19 crisis has affected families, children and educators particularly hard. Schools2030 – a flagship programme for the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and a coalition of eight other private foundations – is responding to the crisis. AKF has responded with two concrete steps. First, AKF developed and shared a global review of available tips, recommendations and offline/online learning resources to support families and educators to help children learn during school closures. Second, to search for and develop local solutions to teaching and learning during Covid-19 that would supplement the global review and materials, AKF and the Schools2030 coalition hosted a number of virtual Human Centered Design sessions over several weeks.
