Our girls back to school campaign is ongoing. Day 28
As Angolan students return to face-to-face learning, we are calling for schools to focus on social and emotional well-being. A number of recent studies have found that students who have experienced lockdown from COVID-19 experience fear and anxiety, anger and sadness, reduced quality of sleep, restlessness and problems concentrating, and hyperactivity and irritability.
Our today's guest is Catarina. She will share with us the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on her studies
Hello everyone! My name is Catarina Isabel Pedro, I am 17 years old and study in the 8 grade. I will share with you the impact of Covid-19 in my studies.
How did the coronavirus affect your studies?
The Covid-19 had a major negative impact on my studies. I stayed at home for 9 months without going to school, without seeing my teachers, colleagues and without picking up notebooks.
In that time being at home, did you do anything to continue learning?
I didn't.
Why?
For certain reasons.
Now that schools have reopened, have you returned to study?
Yes, I went back to school.
How is the dynamic at your school?
We can manage it.
Has the school created any preventive measures against the coronavirus?
Yes they did.
Have you been following the coronavirus prevention measures?
Yes I do. I wear face mask correctly, wash my hands with soap and water and disinfect them with gel alcohol.
Have all your colleagues who studied with you before the pandemic returned to school?
Yes, but we were split out for weeks.
How have the teachers been behaving?
They behave well.
Girls' education is one of the most powerful investments we can make for our collective future. The ripple effect of positive change occurs when a girl gets an education is amazing. It strengthens economies, reduces inequality and creates more opportunities for everyone to succeed.

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 a teacher, parent, student, journalist, policymaker, or simply a concerned citizen.
