Educators and researchers will very likely be citing this paper in the years to come. Written as it was in the midst of a global response to a pandemic, this substantial paper (127 page PDF) examines how education systems around the world responded to the need for social distancing, remote teaching, and online resources. Although the authors appear to have no particular agenda in mind, which I appreciate, "this study points out how social injustice, inequity and the digital divide have been exacerbated during the pandemic and need unique and targeted measures if they are to be addressed." The first 8 pages, in particular, are worth reading as a summation of the issues of our times.
