similarities and differences in the local educational setup before and after the global pandemic
Answers
Answer:
The COVID-19 pandemic has created the
largest disruption of education systems in
history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion learners
in more than 190 countries and all continents. Closures of schools and other learning spaces have impacted 94 per cent of the
world’s student population, up to 99 per cent
in low and lower-middle income countries.
The crisis is exacerbating pre-existing education disparities by reducing the opportunities
for many of the most vulnerable children, youth,
and adults – those living in poor or rural areas,
girls, refugees, persons with disabilities and
forcibly displaced persons – to continue their
learning. Learning losses also threaten to extend
beyond this generation and erase decades
of progress, not least in support of girls and
young women’s educational access and retention. Some 23.8 million additional children and
youth (from pre-primary to tertiary) may drop
out or not have access to school next year due
to the pandemic’s economic impact alone.
