Irvin Studin is President of The Institute for 21st Century Questions, Editor-in-Chief & Publisher of Global Brief Magazine, and Chair of the Worldwide Commission to Educate All Kids (Post-Pandemic). He lives in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada with his wife Alla and their children, Noah, Gabriella and Isaiah.
“Irvin Studin’s book is the product of his exemplary analysis and foresight during the initial stages of Covid-19. He uses his nuanced understanding of public policy and student engagement to examine the catastrophic impact that school closures during the pandemic had on youth in Canada and around the world – and therefore for the future of the planet. His vision and leadership attracted leading educators, health professionals, politicians and academics across Canada and the globe, who joined him on the Worldwide Commission to Educate All Kids (Post- Pandemic). In his quest to Never Close Schools Again, Studin book offers energy, sparking public discourse and practical action for years to come.”
“Irvin Studin’s leadership on the devastating consequences of pandemic-related policies that closed schools and kept them closed worldwide, has been singular and extraordinary. This book reflects that leadership and the insights of more than three years of effort to document, communicate and apply what could be learned from school closures. Studin describes leaders’ lack of imagination, knowledge and commitment, resulting in a global, generational loss of human capital.”
“Irvin Studin’s persuasive book appeals to the moral imperative never ever to shut schools even in a catastrophe, as it is unjust and unforgivable. Studin lays bare the immense harm done to children around the world through the unprecedented closure of schools worldwide during the Covid-19 lockdowns. He highlights the plight of millions of ‘third bucket kids’ who were neither in school nor had online schooling, leading to loss of learning, damaging their confidence, instilling fear and anxiety, and making them feel incompetent from within. His new book is essential reading for educators and political leaders who care about children and their evolving capacities.”
“With the catastrophic impact that school closures during the pandemic have had on children globally, the least we can do is ensure that the facts are presented, the lessons learned are documented, and such a devastating scenario is never played out again. Never Close the Schools Again. Ever. is the clearest message that could be sent to all world leaders, educators and policy-makers by the Chairman of the Worldwide Commission to Educate All Kids (Post-Pandemic).”
