Thankfully, some of the most prominent leaders in the field are gathering to develop answers that deliver on the promise of quality learning and inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNESCO, together with Microsoft and hundreds of private and public partners, has established a global education coalition to support countries in scaling up their best remote learning practices and reaching youth who are most at risk. In describing the impetus for creating the coalition, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay stated, \u201cNever before have we witnessed educational disruption on such a scale. Partnership is the only way forward. This coalition is a call for coordinated and innovative action to unlock solutions that will not only support learners and teachers now, but through the recovery process, with a principle focus on inclusion and equity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft is a proud member of the coalition, and a strong and active supporter of its three core pillars: to support the equitable continuation of learning, ensure a full and equitable return to education, and strengthen learning systems. In his announcement of the partnership, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said, \u201cWe believe it\u2019s critical that every student can stay engaged, and continue learning during this difficult time\u2026Together, we want to provide every student and teacher with access to technology and training to connect, communicate, and learn, no matter the circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"inaugural-virtual-education-transformation-summit\">Inaugural virtual Education Transformation Summit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the global priority to address the impact of the pandemic on education, Microsoft launched its inaugural Education Transformation Summit on May 5, to bring education leaders together to share ideas on this critical topic. The summit explored how systems are adjusting to remote learning and the role of technology, as well as how this large-scale disruption can accelerate deeper education transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Teams Live event was designed for global education ministers and leaders, with discussion topics and questions curated using feedback from the more than 550 invited education leaders. The two-and-a-half-hour session was hosted by Microsoft Education Vice President Anthony Salcito, and included an opening statement by UNESCO Assistant Director-General Stefania Giannini, and a \u201cfireside chat\u201d between Anthony and Satya. It concluded with a panel discussion with the education ministers of Ecuador, Austria, and Georgia, moderated by OECD Education Director Andreas Schleicher, and lively and interactive Q&amp;A and comments from attendees. It was an informative and engaging session that revealed critical priorities for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Stefania pointed out in her opening comments, education is foundational for the well-being of society, so learning must continue no matter what. She also noted that the recent widespread closing of schools around the world has been \u201cthe very first massive global social experiment in learning outside the confines of school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\" style=\"width: 300px\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/unesco-assistant-director.png\">\n<figcaption style=\"text-align: center\">UNESCO Assistant Director-General Stefania Giannini shares opening remarks<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, there is much to be learned from that experience as educational systems are re-formed and re-imagined for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feducationblog.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2F2020%2F05%2Fdisrupting-the-education-paradigm%2F&amp;text=%22The%20crisis%20has%20shown%20how%20much%20education%20matters%20and%20is%20foundational%20for%20the%20well-being%20of%20society...%20it%27s%20time%20to%20re-form%20and%20re-imagine%20education%20systems.%22%20%40SteGiannini%20%40UNESCO%20at%20the%20%40MicrosoftEDU%20%40MSEurope%20%23microsoftedu&amp;via=MicrosoftEDU&amp;related=MicrosoftEDU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;The crisis has shown how much education matters and is foundational for the well-being of society\u2026 it&#8217;s time to re-form and re-imagine education systems.&#8221; @SteGiannini @UNESCO at the @MicrosoftEDU @MSEurope #microsoftedu<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feducationblog.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2F2020%2F05%2Fdisrupting-the-education-paradigm%2F&amp;text=%22The%20crisis%20has%20shown%20how%20much%20education%20matters%20and%20is%20foundational%20for%20the%20well-being%20of%20society...%20it%27s%20time%20to%20re-form%20and%20re-imagine%20education%20systems.%22%20%40SteGiannini%20%40UNESCO%20at%20the%20%40MicrosoftEDU%20%40MSEurope%20%23microsoftedu&amp;via=MicrosoftEDU&amp;related=MicrosoftEDU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While no one can predict exactly what will happen, the consensus of the group was that when schools physically reopen, teaching and learning will not look the same as before. Students, educators, administrators, and faculty will all be facing a new reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s likely that some of the best parts of remote learning will be retained and will be integrated into the curriculum. Teachers will blend traditional brick-and-mortar classroom instruction with synchronous and asynchronous activities and projects to create a new, hybrid model. In this model, social and emotional skills will hopefully be prioritized, and the role of the teacher will be acknowledged as more important than ever. In fact, hybrid education models should enable teachers to increase time spent coaching and mentoring individual students. In this new reality, educators empowered with technology will also have an opportunity to create a more flexible and inclusive learning environment. The ultimate goal is to create more self-directed, personalized learning, with heightened guidance and encouragement from the teacher as the student grows in knowledge and develops their emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stefania pointed out that as we move forward, supporting teachers is more important than ever. She called for an \u201cupgrade\u201d to teacher training and revealed that a UNESCO survey of teachers in 60 countries found that 60 percent of them said they were not prepared for online learning. This closely echoed the survey conducted for our recent whitepaper, \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aka.ms\/staff2030paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Staff of 2030: Future-Ready Teaching (opens in a new tab)\">Staff of 2030: Future-Ready Teaching<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d which showed that only 38 percent of teachers in training and early-career teachers felt that their training prepared them to use technology effectively in the classroom. And the challenges of building remote and hybrid teaching and learning strategies are even more challenging for teachers who feel uncomfortable with technology. Andreas highlighted that under the current circumstances, it\u2019s even more important that teachers receive ongoing support and training. \u201cWe used to learn to do the work as teachers, now learning has become the work. You will not see your students become lifelong learners if they do not see their teachers as lifelong learners,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Satya also pointed out the importance of supporting teachers, saying that one of the ways to help them be the best at what they do is to \u201censure that they are respected and valued members of society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feducationblog.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2F2020%2F05%2Fdisrupting-the-education-paradigm%2F&amp;text=%22You%20will%20not%20see%20your%20students%20become%20lifelong%20learners%20if%20they%20do%20not%20see%20their%20teachers%20as%20lifelong%20learners.%22%20%40SchleincherOECD%20%40MicorosftEDU%20%23microsoftedu&amp;via=MicrosoftEDU&amp;related=MicrosoftEDU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;You will not see your students become lifelong learners if they do not see their teachers as lifelong learners.&#8221; @SchleincherOECD @MicorosftEDU #microsoftedu<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feducationblog.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2F2020%2F05%2Fdisrupting-the-education-paradigm%2F&amp;text=%22You%20will%20not%20see%20your%20students%20become%20lifelong%20learners%20if%20they%20do%20not%20see%20their%20teachers%20as%20lifelong%20learners.%22%20%40SchleincherOECD%20%40MicorosftEDU%20%23microsoftedu&amp;via=MicrosoftEDU&amp;related=MicrosoftEDU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click To Tweet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-new-paradigm-for-public-private-collaboration-and-innovation\">A new paradigm for public-private collaboration and innovation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\" style=\"width: 300px\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/mcirosoft-education-vice-president.png\">\n<figcaption style=\"text-align: center\">Microsoft Education Vice President Anthony Salcito and CEO Satya Nadella discuss how technology can facilitate activity and equity<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In their fireside chat, Satya and Anthony discussed that we are likely to see structural changes to overall society, as well as to education systems as a result of the current situation, and that it\u2019s important for governments to take care of vulnerable populations by budgeting funds for health and education.

For example, Georgia\u2019s Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport, Mikheil Chkhenkeli, shared that \u201cMicrosoft was indeed a spearhead technology-wise of how we conquered the challenges facing us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that distance education was \u201ca new dimension in our education system, something we had to develop practically from scratch.\u201d Looking to the future of education in Georgia, he stated that \u201cEvery crisis brings opportunity.\u201d And he added, \u201cWe are thinking of using the hybrid approach, and the online resources primarily provided by Microsoft will become a permanent fixture of our curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reference to Ecuador, Andreas noted to Minister of Education Monserrat Creamer that because some areas are so remote, Ecuador faces massive challenges in access to education even in normal times. Monserrat added that \u201cSeveral rural areas lack connectivity, and we have schools that are bilingual with Spanish and 14 native languages from the Andes and the Amazon region that require resources and access to continue the learning process.\u201d They are addressing the issues with an impressive, three-phase program that starts with \u201clearning from home and broadcast lessons on TV, radio, and online,\u201d and continues with \u201copen learning\u201d that includes hybrid virtual and distance learning, as well as physical contact with teachers. The third phase will introduce a new pedagogical model focused on teaching 21<sup>st<\/sup> century skills and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\" style=\"width: 300px\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/minister_of_education.png\">\n<figcaption style=\"text-align: center\">Minister of Education for Ecuador, Monserrat Creamer, views the ETS summit<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Minister of Education, Science and Research for Austria, Iris Rauskala, noted that prior to the recent situation, Austria had already trained most teachers in hybrid learning, so they felt relatively prepared for the sudden switch. She said, \u201cThis was a huge challenge, but\u2026we have been implementing digital and blended learning elements, media skills, and competencies in both teacher training curricula as well as student curricula, step-by-step within the last years.\u201d She also shared that they are attempting to make the most of the opportunity to expand their digital learning programs now that more people are familiar with them. \u201cReally everybody understands that it\u2019s possible, or necessary in some situations, to use the methods of digitization, blended learning and e-learning to stick to really our only aim in education, the learning outcome of students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Lets_connect.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the session, Anthony thanked the speakers and all the ministers and leaders in attendance for the \u201c\u2026energy, leadership, and commitment that you\u2019re providing to your constituents.
