'Moving beyond the pandemic, it will be important to continue monitoring how distance learning solutions are addressing the needs of different students and expand their opportunities for quality learning.' An OECD survey
explored how 27 education systems across the globe responded during school closures in 2020. This
infographic shows how widely nine different measures were used for at least one level of schooling* to target students at risk of exclusion from distance education platforms.
