Covid -Crisis and Opportunities for Education

There is no substitute for the richness of experience and the power of reflection to give the public a sense of the crisis in education but also its resolution. In this accessible and insightful collection of writings, Professor Michael le Cordeur brings that combination of personal experience and scholarly reflection to bear on education in pandemic times. The result is an invaluable resource for teachers and planners alike.
