Should schools reopen before or after summer vacation?

ICT and STEM fields are historically male dominated. However, many women have contributed to the digital sector since the beginning. From Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper to Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook´s current COO. These renowned women and their innovative, scientific and technological accomplishments show girls that women's presence in ICT is not a myth. What is more, they are essential to the field.

The crisis generated by the spread of Covid-19 has arguably led to more technology-supported change in schools in a few weeks than in the past 20 years. Digital technologies are playing a key role in providing much-needed continuity and support for teachers, learners and families in ways that would have been unimaginable, if not impossible, only a few years ago.

With COVID-19 forcing schools across Europe to close, many teachers, students and families are discovering emergency remote teaching and learning for the first time. How are policy-makers supporting schools and what challenges are they facing?

In an attempt to mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus disease, 87% of world's student population, over a billion and a half young people, are unable to attend class because of nationwide school and university closures in 165 countries.
