News UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre - Policy Recommendations
UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre - Policy Recommendations
Policy recommendations:
The past two years have seen disruptions on a global scale, which have been deeply unsettling for many and highlight the uncertainty of our everyday lives. For young people, the abrupt closing of schools meant that this key part of life either came to a halt or significantly changed the way of ‘doing’ school. As responses to the crisis developed, it became clear that while school closures had negative implications for most young people, the effects had greater consequence for some than for others. Concerns continue as schools reopen and develop new norms for teaching and learning and the practices of everyday life in schools. This study aims to create a rapid response through co-designing and co- developing coping, wellbeing and support strategies for young people (aged 12-18 years) and their parents, in the context of coping with COVID-19, including fast- tracking dissemination to facilitate educational engagement.
The following Project Briefs emerged and provide recommendations to policy makers, educators and support service providers.
