Africa Educates Her Campaign - Angola. Season 3. Don't Miss Out! Webisode 33

 Our girls back to school campaign is ongoing. Day 33

Lockdowns and school closures implemented during the pandemic have already caused 743 million girls to miss out on their educations, and 10 million more secondary school-aged girls are predicted to be out of school before it is over.

Today we invited Esperança, she will share with us the impact that covid-19 had on her studies.

Hello! my name is Esperança Amaral, I study in the 7th class in a school complex in Luanda, I am 13 years old. Today I will share with you how the Covid-19 pandemic affected my studies.

How did covid-19 affect your studies?

It affected me a lot because we spent 9 months retired at home without studying, I could not see my classmates and teachers.

At that time, while at home, did you do anything to keep learning?

Yes, I went to a private tutor, I did schoolwork and studied at home.

When did you return to school?

I went back to school in October last year.

How is the dynamics and how are teachers behaving?

They behave well.

Haven't you forgotten anything you've learned before the pandemic?

No.

Do you have any security at school against covid-19? What did you notice?

Yes, we have security. We always wash our hands with soap and water and disinfect them with gel alcohol.

Aren't you afraid of covid-19?

A little bit.

How did your exams go?

I wrote my exams well I did not forget anything I learned before the pandemic.

Nobody knows when this Covid-19 crisis will be over but we will work hard to ensure that girls are able to continue learning and return to school.

We launched this campaign to ensure that every girl is able to learn while schools are closed and return to the classroom when schools safely reopen. Everyone can play a role in supporting girls education - whether you are a teacher, parent, student, journalist, policymaker, or simply a concerned citizen.
