Materials for the education system, learners and families for pre-primary, primary and secondary schools
To help you navigate through the vast amount of information about COVID-19, the WinS Network has compiled this knowledge map. It provides links to a selection of relevant materials and information from reliable sources. It aims to address information needs for learners, their families and the education system as a whole and is intended for the time when schools are closed and in preparation for reopening of schools.
This knowledge map is regularly updated. Please contact us for any suggestions or questions.
