## Overview

This open access book presents evidence from 20 global case studies and a survey of 101 university leaders, revealing how universities innovated and collaborated with schools during the COVID-19 pandemic to sustain and reinvent educational opportunities. It challenges traditional views of universities as isolated institutions, highlighting their dynamic role in addressing real-world problems and transforming education for a better future.

## Description

Product Description Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as “ivory towers” being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach. Review "The book's main strength lies in the expertise of diverse contributors from various universities and private institutions. ... The book will be of value to students, teachers, educational institutions, and policymakers who want to understand developments in education during and after the pandemic, and how universities were involved in it. This book reminds us that overcoming educational problems during the pandemic could not be achieved alone but required collaboration between all parties concerned in maintaining education in a crisis."
