The session focused on designing high-quality, effective, distance education programmes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included high-level officials from the Nepalese government (e.g., the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Curriculum Development Office and the Education Review Office), representatives from development partners (e.g., the World Bank, UNICEF and USAID) and other education organisations (e.g., OLE Nepal).  The session was convened for two purposes. First, to consider international good practice and current trends in distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic, presented by the World Bank EduTech team and the EdTech Hub. Second, for the EdTech Hub team to gather questions from participants, to be able to target guidance specifically to the situation in Nepal.  This document provides answers to a consolidated list of 10 questions received from stakeholders during the session. To consolidate any overlap, we have occasionally combined multiple questions into one. In other cases, where multiple important issues required a focused response, we split apart questions.}, number = {13}, institution = {EdTech Hub}, author = {Kaye, Tom and Groeneveld, Caspar and Moss, Caitlin and Haßler, Björn}, month = may, year = {2020}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.3804380}, note = {EdTechHub.Source: 2405685:UXQG7GRG KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.5281/zenodo.3804380 2129771:X82WTVD8 2339240:MB7JNNNV 2339240:PGI4RZNE 2405685:59LAMBXS 2405685:88UWQMW9 2405685:BG5DGC4G 2405685:GQDN2E5P 2405685:UXQG7GRG}, keywords = {Author:Haßler, Author:OpenDevEd, Björn-CV-OECS, C:Nepal, F: Helpdesk response, LP: English, \_C:Austria AUT, \_C:Bangladesh BGD, \_C:Kenya KEN, \_C:Korea XKOR, \_C:Liberia LBR, \_C:Nepal NPL, \_C:Pakistan PAK, \_C:Singapore SGP, \_EdTechHub\_Output, \_\_C:filed:1, \_\_C:scheme:1, \_cover:v1, \_r:ImportedToMyEducationEvidence, \_zenodoETH, docs.opendeved.net, dode\_eth-src-dode, dode\_eth-trf2-dode}, }
