This book documents the efforts of local governments, schools, the private sector, and parents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
　Driven by a shared, strong determination to “keep children learning!” many people collaborated across organizational boundaries and did their very best through a process of trial and error.
　What should we do now to ensure children’s learning continues? Through global
trends, initiatives by leading local governments and schools in Japan, and efforts by the private education sector, this book reports on the rapidly changing front lines of learning as we approach the full-scale arrival of the AI and data era. We hope this
book will contribute to the development of post-COVID education.

If your publication plans to cover this story, we would appreciate it if you could
let us know.
