Teaching to support learning in times of crisis

Nipael Mrutu, Faculty member at Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational Development, East Africa, writes that in Tanzania and across the globe, schools and institutions of higher learning have been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As an educator and a parent, she constantly ponders on the impact of this pandemic to quality teaching and learning. Quality education is usually at risk during times of crisis. The global education agenda, Education 2030, urges countries to implement policies and strategies to ensure that the right to a quality education is delivered no matter the circumstances.
