compilation of NGO interventions providing meaningful learning
opportunities to students during COVID. The group plans to
create a a policy brief laying out principles for education

engaging with children and support their learning) etc. This
group meetings are scheduled on <i>Tuesday evenings.</i><br>

<li>The Working Group on "<a moz-do-not-send="true"

the first meeting of this working group on Friday Aug 6 or
Saturday, August 7.</b> This group will organize meetings
with interested individuals and groups in different states to
build a larger discourse on the education emergency, and create
a social pressure across the country for careful/phased school
opening. The meeting will discuss and plan the activities for
this group.<b> </b>If you have preferences for Aug 6 or 7, let
me know. </li>
<li>A <b><a moz-do-not-send="true"
