REYL INTESA SANPAOLO LAUNCHES NEW PUBLICATION, FORWARD, FOCUSED ON THE CHALLENGES OF DIGITAL EDUCATION

REYL Intesa Sanpaolo, the Swiss banking group majority-owned by Fideuram – Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking, is reinforcing its social impact strategy by initiating a new publication, FORWARD, which highlights the challenge of educating the next generation in a digital world and lays down the possible solutions.
 

The report explores how the world of global education has evolved from the pre-pandemic environment before the rapid shift to e-learning, analysing radical changes that are long overdue in the sector, as well as the disproportionate impact that COVID-19 has had on those in poorer communities. 
 

Estimates from a joint report by the World Bank-UNESCO-UNICEF found that more than two years into the pandemic, fewer than half of countries are implementing learning recovery strategies at scale to help children catch-up, despite 2 trillion hours of in-person school having been lost globally due to school closures since March 2020.
FORWARD analyses how the pandemic has taken the role of catalyst, crystalising a communications and content delivery revolution in education, which had been in the making for decades. It notes that the traditional classroom has been irrevocably changed, with technology being used to translate and re-translate languages, and education being delayed and distributed at the student’s convenience.
