“…The works of Dube (2020) and Mengistie (2020) underscore the issues of social justice while adopting the technology-driven remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the low-income regions. Referring to the South African government's recent move to adopt online learning as the main alternative during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dube (2020) reveals that many rural learners in South Africa are excluded from teaching and learning due to a lack of resources to connect to the internet, the learning management system, and low-tech software.…”

“…Similarly, the country's nationwide radio program could not involve a large section of school-going children due to the problem of access to electricity and radio. Mengistie (2020) / 93 highlights that elite centered provision of learning is haphazard which "may arouse emotional and psychological problems in both types of students who are accessible and non-accessible to it" (p. 149).…”

As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sphere of human life and the schools across the country are closed due to the risk of spreading the virus, online teaching has become a major alternative pedagogical strategy among the private schools in particular. This article reports a study that explores how private school teachers perceive and adopt technological learning, how they transfer their technological knowledge and skills into the online classroom and how they self-assess their practices. This is done through a phenomenological study focusing on the meaning the participants make from their lived experience on ‘technological learning and application’ in the face of the pandemic. The study found that dealing with uncertainty and fear of the COVID-19 and the additional pressure for doing online teaching amidst the crisis evoked frustration and anguish among the teachers. Despite a number of challenges and crisis, teachers, however, learn to deal with the technological challenges and manage to run the class through virtual mode. Nevertheless, they assess the online delivery is not effective due to the various constraints. The study suggests for ensuring the access of ICT resources and facilities to both teachers and students, sufficient training to the both groups and digitalize curricular materials for the effective implementation of virtual learning.

“…Three days after the first case was recorded in Ethiopia, the office of the Prime Minister has announced that schools, sporting events, and public gatherings shall be suspended for 15 days. As a result, schools were closed and more than 26 million pre-primary, primary, secondary, and tertiary-level learners from more than 47,000 schools were urged to stay home ( Adele, 2020 ; Mengistie, 2020 ; & MoE, 2013a ).…”

“…Th erefore, resources that would allow all students to continue their education from home, even to a partial extent, would be benefi cial, and would mean that female students would not need longer to catch up upon their return to campus. However, without improved internet access and greater aff ordability in rural areas of Ethiopia, intervention in terms of distance education would be of limited success (Mengistie 2020).…”

As seen in previous pandemics, girls and young women are particularly vulnerable as social issues such as homelessness, mental healthcare, access to education, and child labor are often exacerbated. The Girl in the Pandemic considers what academics, community activists, and those working in local, national, and global NGOs are learning about the lives of girls and young women during pandemics. Drawing from a range of responses during the pandemic including first person narratives, community ethnographies, and participatory action research, this collection offers a picture of how the COVID-19 pandemic played out in eight different countries.
