In this paper authors from POLITIKA, the Radix Youth Wing, recommend eight steps to make schools more resilient:
Create comprehensive and effective contingency plans for continuing teaching during times of disruption, on a national and local level
Provide annual teacher training on creating meaningful remote learning environments
Integrate technology into teaching, including the usage of devices by children in the classroom
Provide devices and broadband for the most disadvantaged of students
Make more funding available for schools, particularly in the most deprived areas, to ensure that disadvantaged children can make the best start in life
Reintroduce Sure Start centres to support disadvantaged families
Create an online platform for educational resources to enhance learning in times of normalcy and provide an additional layer of resilience
Introduce flexible learning into the curriculum to ensure intrinsic motivation and build resilience against disruption
