Abstract	The end of the school year is approaching in most countries of the EU neighbourhood and Central Asia. Most countries closed schools and all forms of face-to-face education and training in mid-March/early April 2020. As the crisis progresses, a stable picture is emerging. Countries have passed through similar stages since the outbreak: being confronted with quick decisions to be made; prioritisation and mixed measures at central and provider level; an increased stabilisation of provision. Finally, countries have started to collect data, identify issues to be addressed through legislation or specific actions (such as buying equipment or increasing training), and have made decisions on end-of-year arrangements. All countries report the need and willingness to capitalise on the efforts made as regards teacher involvement, digital materials produced and new teaching and learning methods. The key takeaway from the remarkable reaction to the COVID-19 crisis is the realisation that the transformation is not about 'moving online' but it is about switching to learning throughout life and ensuring that learning is accessible to all. Highlighted findings in this update include: (1) Decisions taken in most countries regarding the management of end of year examinations; (2) In many countries evidence is being collected on digital and online learning as a basis for decisions on the future; (3) A large number of platforms and an impressive quantity of digital resources are available across countries; (4) Emotional and social proximity is a concern for many countries, and programmes addressing this have been implemented; (5) Practice based training is receiving attention in many countries with several solutions being adopted, materials developed, and partnerships established with the private sector; and (6) Cooperation with the private sector and civil society has accelerated during the crisis in exploring opportunities to ensure coverage, access and innovative solutions to education and training provision. These trends pertain to 27 European Training Foundation (ETF) partner countries making up South Eastern Europe and Turkey, Eastern Partnership and Russia, Southern and Eastern Mediterranean, and Central Asia.
