ICT in education

On the 5^th of May 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared an end to the COVID-19 Health Emergency. It marked an official end to a challenging period when humanity tried to maintain a semblance of normalcy amidst a relatively new disease outbreak that necessitated adaptive management approaches to try and cope. 

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the education sector leading to school closures for more than two years in some countries. This resulted in learning loss that impacted education outcomes, especially in Africa. Governments in Africa took immediate responsive actions to remedy the impact of school closures by introducing policy and program changes to education delivery, articulating multi-sectoral national response plans that included remote learning to ensure learning continuity.
