Qatar Foundation's WISE Announces Special E-Book

Education Disrupted,Education Reimagined - Responses from education's frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond

DOHA,Qatar,Sept. 22,2020 -- WISE,a Qatar Foundation global education think-tank,in partnership with Salzburg Global Seminar,and Diplomatic Courier,is pleased to announce the official release of a special E-Book titled: Education Disrupted,Education Reimagined – Responses from education's frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

WISE E-Book Cover

The special edition E-Book was produced in real time,as WISE,convened key stakeholders and education leaders from over 98 countries in a three-part series of global conferences aimed at bringing the global education community together. The result was a contemporary historical record of how schools,NGOs,governments,and international organizations responded to school closures during the crisis and how they are attempting to use this crisis as a springboard to reimagine– and even transform– education in their communities and countries.

The E-Book offers an opportunity to a global audience to make sense of what happened,but it also offers a breeding ground of ideas from some of the world's top education thinkers.

"It is our hope that this publication will provide the education community with a reference point from the crisis from which future research,policy,and innovation can grow,"said Dr. Asmaa Al-Fadala,editor of the publication and Director of Research and Content Development at WISE.

Contributors include:

Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al-Thani

The Right Honorable Gordon Brown

Marc A. Brackett

Andreas Schleicher

Stefania Giannini

Manos Antoninis

Olli-Pekka Heinonen
