To mitigate the impact of COVID-19 outbreak, UNESCO launched the Global Education Coalition, in which international organisations, civil society and enterprises are engaged to ensure that “Learning never stops.” As one of the Coalition members, Huawei has been dedicated to bringing the benefits of technology to everyone.
Huawei recently held a live webinar for online higher education to help ensure continuous online education during the suspension of schools and universities. The webinar, as a special part of Huawei’s Learn ON programme, was jointly organised by Huawei and its partners including UNESCO IITE and UNESCO-ICHEI. Leaders and experts from global enterprises and universities were invited to share their practice and challenges in online education during the COVID-19 crisis. They also discussed feasible solutions that can ensure both education continuity and online education quality when schools and universities are closed.
Wu Lintuo, Director of Education Partnership, Talent Ecosystem Development Dept Huawei, introduced an all-round solution to the new requirements of global Huawei Academies during COVID-19.
During the sharing session, Ann Therese Ndong-Jatta, Director for the Bureau of Education in Africa, UNESCO and Samuel Kinuthia from Zetech University of Kenya, as well as other experts from global higher educational institutions, introduced their experience in developing online education schemes and organising online learning.
