New Funding Flows: Innovative Finance for Education During and After COVID-19
On 13 March 2020, during the early onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa, JET Education Services (JET) released the special JET Bulletin, Extending the capacity of governments and communities to save lives: The role of education systems in responding to COVID-19 and other threats. This was two weeks before lockdown measures in South Africa were to commence, and the education sector in South Africa was wholly unprepared for what lay ahead of it. Of course, South Africa was not unique in this precarious situation, with many countries across the world, including many first world countries, struggling to come to grips with the scale and potential impact of the crisis they were edging towards.
