An entire generation of children across the world have had their education disrupted due to the Covid-19 outbreak, says Save the Children.
“For the first time in human history, an entire generation of children globally have had their education disrupted,” it said in a new report, Save our Education. 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. “If we allow this education crisis to unfold, the impact on children’s futures will be long lasting,” Ashing said.
