Global school closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic present an unprecedented risk to children’s education, protection and well-being. Teachers and other education staff are at the forefront ensuring children keep learning.

This Ready to Come Back: Teacher Preparedness Training Package aims to address the immediate emerging needs for health and safety measures, learning loss, and mental health and well-being in schools and classrooms. The information
presented here is developed for educators, teachers and education staff across the Middle East and North Africa region in mind, but can be easily adapted to any context.

The modules are based on the Framework for Reopening Schools by UNESCO, UNICEF, the World Bank, the World Food Programme and UNHCR (April/June 2020).

This is the first edition of the Teacher Preparedness Training Package developed by UNICEF with the support of Aflatoun.
