The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis in all areas.

Our today's guest is Nicha, she will share with us the impact of Covid-19 on her academic life

Hello, my name is Nicha Deolinda, I am 14 years old and I study in the fifth grade.

How did the coronavirus impact your studies?

Well, the coronavirus impacted me negatively. I can't go to school anymore, I'm studying from home solving some exercises that the school has been giving.

When did you stop studying?

Since March 2020

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

I don't. My school board has informed us that they are only going to assist students from the 6th grade upwards. Students from the 5th grade and below will receive exercises and topics to study at home.

Have you been complying with the coronavirus prevention measures?

Yes, I have been staying at home, washing my hands, using face mask and alcohol gel.
