World Bank and Financial Times’ Blog Writing Competition

2022 World Bank and Financial Times blog competition for high school students is now open entries!

The COVID-19 pandemic changed education for students and teachers everywhere.  Almost all schools had to close for months.  And ready or not, students – along with teachers and families – discovered that education was suddenly possible only through remote learning.

In many places schools have moved to reopen, sometimes through a combination of face-to-face classes and learning from home.  Everyone is now at some stage of getting back to normal – even if it’s a completely “new” normal.

Eligibility

Aged 16 to 19 and currently enrolled in high school

What insights from your experience during the COVID-19 pandemic do you think would improve education and learning? What should educators and policymakers do differently, including by leveraging technology and changing teaching methods?

What to do?

A strong blog or essay, no longer than 500 words.

Your name, age, school, email, and country you live in.

Optional: any photos, videos, visualizations that help support your story.

The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2022. Entries will be judged by a high-level panel of senior officials from the World Bank, Financial Times, and our partners.
