Girls back to school after lockdowns - Angola. Campaign with Sofonie Dala. Don't miss it! Webisode 9

Almost 10 million children may never return to school following COVID-19 lockdown

“Re-opening schools, even in a phased manner poses a lot of challenges for school managements, given that enforcing discipline among people on social distancing and wearing of masks is still a difficult proposition.”

Our today's guest is Paulina, she will share with us her school observations.

1. Introduction

Hello! My name is  Paulina, I am 17 years old, I am studying for a career in accounting in the 11th grade.

2. How has covid-19 affected your student life?

The Covid-19 pandemic no longer affects me as before, because I am learning to adapt, but in the beginning I was very upset about this situation of not being able to leave the house, it was very boring.

3. Now that schools have reopened, have you gone back to school?

Yes, I went back to school and it was right on the first day.

4. What have you noticed in the school? Has the school distributed any bio-safety material?

No, unfortunately, but my school is doing everything possible to get everything organized.

5. What are the prevention measures against covid - 19 you saw that the government / school created to ensure your safety?

Hands washing with water and soap, always use alcohol gel, use facial masks correctly, etc.

6. And how do you feel? Are you enjoying going to class or  you are scared?

Of course we are all a little afraid but it is better to go back to school, because it is boring to stay at home doing nothing.

World is facing a hidden education emergency

Girls are likely to be much worse affected than boys, with many forced into early marriage. As the impacts of the recession triggered by Covid-19 hits families, many children may be forced out of school and into labour markets.

We are calling for governments and donors to respond to this global education emergency by urgently investing in education as schools begin to reopen after months of lockdown.
