Coronavirus in global economy

 Contagious new coronavirus, appearing in China: end 2019
 WHO declares global health emergency: 31 January 2020
 Global travel and trade help spread the virus: by 27 February spread to 45 countries
 WHO declares pandemic: 11 March
 Many countries initiated lockdown, restricting movement of citizens within each country
and movement between countries
 Tokyo Olympics officially postposed: 24 March
 Infections and deaths increase as infection rate goes exponential
 “Second Wave” evident in many countries, with second wave of restrictions
 Death toll over 1 million: early October

The Pandemic in Australia

 25 January 2020 – first identified positive case, Chinese national who flew into Melbourne
 1 February – entry to Australia from China restricted
 13 March – National Cabinet set up to coordinate response (input from scientists)
 16 March – Western Australia & Victoria declare a state of emergency, share market
plunges, anyone entering Australia must self-isolate for 14 days

 23 March – All restaurant, gyms, cinemas, etc, close, gatherings of people restricted,
Australian Urged to ‘stay home’, but essential services open, including school (except in
Victoria) – based on ‘health advice’

Challenges for education

Rapid change and disruption to ‘normal’ ways of working. Education an essential service.
Urgent need for new skills and policies.
 Australian Universities: fewer international students in 2020 as border closed-reduced
income for universities
 Murdoch Universities:
o From 17 March staff who could work at home to do so, temporary Working from
Home guidelines
o Temporary amendment to the Assessment Policy (alternatives to exams)
o From 26 March research activities on campus suspended and no face-to-face
 fieldwork involving humans
 Australian schools:
o From end March, most commenced online teaching and learning, parents urged
to keep children home
o Changing policy on schools- in April-May Government urged schools to re-open,
initially for essential workers’ children and then for all children

Opportunities for Education:

 Murdoch University:
o Readliness to teach online survey of staff
o Focused training and professional learning opportunities for staff to prepare
for online teaching and learning, and different forms of assessment,
resources
o Online pre-recorded lectures, Moodle (LMS) with Collaborate for tutorials
as platform for teaching, Teams for meetings and events
 In Education at Murdoch University:
o Weekly 1 hour meeting of all staff on Teams to provide updates and share
strategies to support student learning, Buddy system to support each other
o Developed new methods for teaching science education, literacy education,
working with groups online
o Network of early career academics to discuss any online issues for teachers
and students, and share learnings
 In schools:
o Rapid changes in policies meant teachers had to be creative and innovative
to provide for all students, despite stress of increased workload and fear of
coronavirus when schoolls re-opened
o Online private schools used WebEx as platform for online learning
o Parents began to appreciate work teachers do
o Many children missed school and social interaction with teachers and friends

Ongoing impacts for Education and the broader community:

 Technologies for Communication: Education (and many others) have become more
familiar with communicating via Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, new collaboration have
become possible (e.g WA Mental Healthy Research Group)
 Online and blended learning: Universities are still teaching mostly online and are
reducing staffing levels
 Professional learning and development: Rapid increase in opportunities and uptake
 Relationships: importance of staying in touch and checking in with each other
 University finance: Reduced numbers of International students studying in Australia and
less funding for future research activity
 Student learning: students (in universities and schools) studies interrupted and some
behind and more anxious. Particular concern for students with learning disabilities,
disadvantaged groups (socioeconomic and remote)
  Internet and access : importance of high speed internet and access to computers for all
students, teachers, and families.

Discussion
 Covid-19 created rapid change in the way we live and work – with health, economic and
social impacts. Education had to adapt quickly, with professional learning and
development a priority
 Challenges remain and we don't know what the long lerm effects will be on teachers,
students and families – collaborative WA research looking at mental health and
adaptability
 There is some positive evidence. Anecdotal findings suggest many teachers and students
(universities and schools) with well developed coping strategies and an adaptive approach
have thrived – creating new ways to connect, teach, and learn
 Some early research from UK (Kim & Ashbury, 2020) suggests that school teachers'
experiences in the first weeks of lockdown were characterized by 6 themes – uncertainty,
finding a way forward, worry for the vulnerable, the importance of relationships, teacher
identity and reflection
 What will Education look like in the future – will it go back to how it was? Or will
Education be more creative and innovative, more diverse teaching and learning?
