Save the Children said that for the first time ever,"an entire generation of children globally have had their education disrupted". LONDON: The coronavirus pandemic has caused an"unprecedented education emergency" with up to 9.7 million children affected by school closures at risk of never going back to class, Save the Children warned on Monday .
With many young people required to work or girls forced into early marriage to support their families, this could see between 7 and 9.7 million children dropping out of school permanently.At the same time, the charity warned the crisis could leave a shortfall of US$77 billion in education budgets in low and middle income countries by the end of 2021.
The charity urged governments and donors to invest more funds behind a new global education plan to help children back into school when it is safe and until then support distance learning.
