UNESCO: The Corona pandemic has caused the largest educational disruption in history

Ozilai said in a statement to Kuwait’s KUNA agency that the global wave of closures that swept schools and universities affected the majority of students and led to a dangerous exacerbation of inequalities in education and radical transformations that affected entire educational systems around the world, warning that closing schools and universities for long periods leads to exacerbating learning losses.
Ozilai indicated the need to keep schools open or reopen them as soon as possible, taking into account full compliance with health rules, pointing out that the UNESCO Global Education Alliance is working to ensure the continuation of education by all means, including distance education, although it cannot replace education inside schools.
