The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of human existence—including the education sector. The pandemic has triggered a paradigm shift in the future of education, and thus, the current practices must transition to the “new normal.” For better or for worse, the practices and technologies used within learning environments must drastically change in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Policies and Procedures for the Implementation of Safe and Healthy Educational Environments: Post-COVID-19 Perspectives discusses the policies and procedures used in the implementation of safe and healthy educational environments both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
