Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic led to the disruption of teaching and learning systems globally. In the UK, educational institutions across the sector needed to adapt to facilitate learning remotely during national lockdowns whilst supporting students face-to-face in order to maintain essential services. Even when restrictions were eased, the need for social distancing, regular testing and isolation meant that returning to pre-pandemic strategies was not an option for many institutions. Despite the challenges the pandemic presented, a silver lining can be taken from the lessons learned and the innovations made. The pandemic led to a reimagining of what education could, and should, look like in the 21st century.
