The Responses to Educational Disruption Survey (REDS) investigated how teaching and learning were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic health crisis, and school closures, and how education stakeholders responded to the educational disruption across and within countries. The study  aimed to provide a systemic, multi-perspective, and comparative picture of the situation at the secondary education level (grade eight) in 11 countries spanning Africa, Asia, Arab region, Europe, and Latin America. The REDS data collection took place between December 2020 to July 2021 in 11 countries: Burkina Faso, Denmark, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, the Russian Federation, Rwanda, Slovenia, the United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, and Uzbekistan.
