COVID-19 has majorly disrupted educational services around the world. With extended stay-at-home orders; schools and universities shut for more than six months; online education with minimum in-person interaction, and uncertainty looming large over every sphere of life, education remains one of the seriously affected sectors in this pandemic. Cooperatives in educational institutions as economic enterprises are facing the brunt of the pandemic due to their inability to operate offline and serve its members on campuses. They are not only facing revenue losses but are also unable to support those whose livelihoods may solely depend on them.

To discuss the impact of COVID-19 on cooperatives in educational institutions, ICA-AP’s Committee on Cooperatives in Educational Institutions (ICEI) is organizing a webinar on 5th November 2020. In this webinar, four speakers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea and Singapore will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on university and school education in their countries. As a result of disrupted education, they will discuss the challenges of campus cooperatives in schools and universities in their countries and measures being taken to address them.

Registration for the webinar can be done here.
