UNICEF-Bericht, 3.3.2021 (engl. Originalfassung)
We are facing a COVID-19 education crisis. As this report finds, schools for more than 168 million children globally have been closed for almost a full year. With every day that goes by, these children will fall further behind and the most vulnerable will pay the heaviest price. Governments must reopen schools better than before and ensure every child can return to school.
School closures are expected to exacerbate the learning crisis that existed before the pandemic, with the most vulnerable children being the most adversely affected. The World Bank estimates that global school closures could result in a loss of at least US $10 trillion in lifetime earnings for this generation (World Bank, 2020). Early evidence from school closures already suggests an increase in early marriage and sexual violence in some countries, whereas others report increased involvement of children in household chores (Asanov, 2020; Reuters, 2020).
