Key Points

  • COVID-19 exacerbates educational challenges across the Global South, affecting systems like in South Africa.
  • Experts highlight mounting crises faced by education systems that were already struggling pre-pandemic.

Abstract

Mere weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, HSRC experts warned of the negative effect it could have on South Africa's education system, an effect felt in other countries too, particularly those in the Global South. Recently, a special issue of the Journal of Education used the COVID-19 pandemic as a starting point to interrogate and reflect critically on how crises and pandemics intersect with existing educational challenges.
