Blog writing competition is here once more, sponsored by World bank and Financial Times.
The Covid-19 brought lots of setbacks in 2020 and one of these setbacks is educational/learning setback, many governmental and private organizations have tried to bridge this gap that came with Covid-19 especially in underdeveloped and developing countries.
If you are between the ages of 16 – 19 years, this competition is reserved for you by the World Bank and Financial Times.

Tell them what you think by joining this blog competition.
You can do so by telling them:
How has your learning experience been affected by COVID-19? What would you tell educators and policy makers to do differently? What would make an impact on your learning experience?
