N1  - Policy paper, 13 July 2020
N2  - In an effort to prevent the transmission of Covid-19, governments around the world have closed schools.

School closures are negatively impacting the well-being of children and young people and, in some contexts, might not be effectively reducing transmission.

The INEE and the Alliance call on policymakers to:
consider the impacts of school closures on the education and protection outcomes of children and youth; balance these impacts with a considered review of the health impacts; and
make informed, child-centered decisions on when and why to reopen schools. (Summary). Available in other languages on The Alliance website along with related resources. A webinar will be held on 3 September 2020 (4 September, NZST). Record #6803
