Answers
Explanation:
Children across much of Europe have been going back to school for the start of a new year, but in many other parts of the world, coronavirus restrictions have kept classrooms closed.
We've taken a look at the situation in India and its neighbours in South Asia where the United Nations estimates nearly 600 million children have been affected by lockdowns.
Who's not going back to the classroom?
When coronavirus restrictions were first imposed in March and April, it was at the start of the academic year in many South Asian countries.
School classrooms across the region were closed down, and these restrictions have largely remained in place.
Currently:
In India , schools have partially reopened on a voluntary basis for students from grade 9 to 12, but five states including the capital Delhi have not allowed schools to reopen
Bangladesh and Nepal have extended school closures and will continue to rely on remote learning
Sri Lanka 's schools reopened in August after trying to reopen in July, but then closing after a spike in cases
Children in Pakistan began returning to school starting on 15 September in phases, but over 30 institutions have been closed again for not complying with Covid-19 guidelines

Who has access to the internet?
Remote learning involves either live online classes for students, or digital content which can be accessed at any time - offline or online.
But many South Asian countries lack a reliable internet infrastructure and the cost of online access can be prohibitive for poorer communities.
The UN says at least 147 million children are unable to access online or remote learning. In India, only 24% of households have access to the internet, according to a 2019 government survey.
In rural parts of India, the numbers are far lower with only 4% of households having access to the internet.
