The #COVID19 pandemic has greatly affected the #Education sector. This has manifested itself in a number of ways including: the disruption of learning; increased strain on existing #infrastructure and finances; and increased mental pressure on parents, students, and teachers alike. We believe that Education is a pre-requisite to #financialinclusion. In this video we review the Education Sector Recovery Strategy. In specific we look at mitigation measures set out and budgeted for and the effectiveness of their implementation.
