Solomon Islands' application for a COVID-19 funding to support the Ministry of education’s COVID-19 national response plan.

Named Education System Response Scenario Plan (ESRSCP), the plan was developed as a rolling plan for the reallocation of education resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ESRSCP does not alter or change the education goals set out in the Education Strategic Framework 2016-30 (MEHRD, 2016a), but reinforces the areas that need immediate attention, such as public health and safety, teaching and learning continuity and preparedness, resilience, adaptation and wellbeing, as well as community engagement and support in response to COVID-19.

This proposal focuses on capacity building, communication for development, and partnership with all families and communities as critical to forging effective education responses to COVID-19 at school and community level.
