DOHA, Qatar, Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined - Responses from education's

frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond

WISE, a Qatar Foundation global education think-tank, in partnership with

Salzburg Global Seminar, and Diplomatic Courier, is pleased to announce the

official release of a special E-Book titled: Education Disrupted, Education

Reimagined – Responses from education's frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic

and beyond.

The special edition E-Book was produced in real time, as WISE, in partnership

with Salzburg Global Seminar, convened key stakeholders and education leaders

from over 98 countries in a three-part series of global conferences aimed at

bringing the global education community together. The result was a contemporary

historical record of how schools, NGOs, governments, and international

organizations responded to school closures during the crisis and how they are

attempting to use this crisis as a springboard to reimagine – and even

transform – education in their communities and countries.

The E-Book offers an opportunity to a global audience to make sense of what

happened, but it also offers a breeding ground of ideas from some of the

world's top education thinkers.

"It is our hope that this publication will provide the education community with

a reference point from the crisis from which future research, policy, and

innovation can grow," said Dr. Asmaa Al-Fadala, editor of the publication and

Director of Research and Content Development at WISE.

Contributors include:

- Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al-Thani

- The Right Honorable Gordon Brown

- Marc A. Brackett

- Andreas Schleicher

- Stefania Giannini

- Manos Antoninis

- Olli-Pekka Heinonen
