The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our daily lives worldwide. Children suffer especially under the outbreak, as it is estimated that, globally, over one billion school children are staying home (as at June 2020) with a high number of children not continuing their education online.

On 25th of June 2020, the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) and UNESCO co-hosted an online Mini International Learning Exchange (Mini-ILE) with support from UNICEF, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and the members of the WASH in Schools (WinS) Global Network.

This report summarizes the presentations and discussions of technical sessions and country consultations on innovative solutions available for reopening of schools in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
