The COVID-19 situation has impacted many sectors, including the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) as well as the education sector. At the date of the ILE, it was estimated that, globally, 1.12 billion school children are staying home with a high number of children not continuing their education online. As the COVID-19 outbreak has been addressed and controlled in some countries, a gradual reopening of workplaces, public places and schools have been announced in these countries.
During the Mini-ILE existing good practices, available information and materials on the process of a safe reopening of schools were shared and experiences, plans and challenges were discussed.
