Measuring School Closure, Participation and Remote Learning Reach
A comparative indicator study of household access, institutional provision, participation and educational use
The digital divide in emergency education is not captured by a single measure of internet access. In relation to measurement of closure, participation and remote-learning reach, this proposition bears directly on the issue under review within Executive summary: whether the reported population and form of participation are explicitly defined; the authority should identify the affected population, accountable body and review point. Educational use depends on a suitable device, affordable and reliable connectivity, electricity, accessible content, learner capability, household conditions, teacher interaction and institutional support. An indicator should identify which link it observes and should not infer the rest.
