Guidance Note: Ensuring Inclusive Education for Ethnolinguistic Minority Children in the COVID-19 Era
The Asia-Pacific Region is home to half of the world鈥檚 7,117 living languages. Impressive regional progress on Sustainable Development Goal #4鈥檚 vision to 鈥渆nsure inclusive and equitable quality education鈥 has been severely jeopardized by the COVID-19 pandemic. The more marginalized the child, the greater the threat.
This Guidance Note aims to stimulate thinking into the unique challenges facing children from marginalized ethnolinguistic communities as they re-enter school or continue with various forms of distance learning. Links to resources that may not address language directly, but contain information that could be applied to ethnolinguistic minority children, are included as footnotes.
