This presents part three of the Action Plan developed at the IAU Workshop on higher education for EFA, held in New Delhi, India on 20-21 February 2014. It deals with how to better engage community services offered by Indian universities to achieve EFA.
This capstone presentation was done in April 2010 with two other individuals in my cohort. We re-evaluated the Early Academic Warning Program at Central Connecticut State University and offered ideas for a more well-developed program that would better serve the students and faculty at CCSU.

Virtualizing the school during the covid 19Joshua Owolabi
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected health globally in a manner that this generation has never witnessed. The initial measures to mitigate these effects were focused on health interventions and remedies; rightly so. These had included public health measures including the lockdown, the test-and-contact-tracing and the social or physical distancing measures among others. Measures were also taken by different countries and states to mitigate the economic fallout and these had included palliatives for the people. Countries had borrowed and augmented their fiscal policies and fiscal priorities to cater for the COVID-19 effects. Then the question arises: what have we done with education in Africa? Education is arguably the most important way to address how COVID-19 would affect our future and the life of the generation whose education has been significantly impacted by this. This is the reason for this article!
