Portal on distance education: #nadalku

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

The portal provides updated information, recommendations, online tools and support to promote distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The portal focuses on schools, teachers, students and parents. Part of the portal is dedicated to high schools/universities. It will ensure that end-of-year exams as well as admission and final exams take place for as many students as possible. The guidelines follow a special act on COVID-19 crisis measures, which provides higher education institutions with greater flexibility in online teaching and learning, in particular in relation to quality assurance regulations. The purpose of these documents is both to share good practices and to provide institutions with greater legal certainty.
