Project description
EduRESCUE was a multidisciplinary research and development project that explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on schools, pupils, parents, teachers and principals. The project focused on solutions to strengthen the resilience of the Finnish education system and to improve society's ability to cope with crises in the future. The project described the actions that help build a more resilient education system.
EduRESCUE consisted of multidisciplinary collaboration by combining experts from the fields of teacher training, education management, special pedagogy, law, developmental, educational and occupational psychology, economics, statistics and information technology, with key national stakeholders from different sectors (e.g. government, municipalities and regional administrative agency, teacher and principal training and interest groups) and high-level international experts.
Funding
EduRESCUE research was funded by the Strategic Research Council (SRC), established within the Academy of Finland. The Strategic Research Council exists to provide funding for long-term and programme-based research aimed at finding solutions to the major challenges facing Finnish society. The EduRESCUE project was part of the PANDEMICS program.
Results
EduRESCUE researchers produced scientific articles and publications (in Finnish and English) as well as writings for public audience (in Finnish). An overview of the research starting points, the implementation of the research and its social impact is presented in the impact stories of the Final Report.
