Yet at least one in three students have had no way of continuing their education at home. “For at least 463 million children whose schools closed due to COVID-19, there was no such a thing as remote learning,” said UNICEF’s Executive Director Henrietta Fore in a statement. “The sheer number of children whose education was completely disrupted for months on end is a global education emergency. It found students in Africa were the most impacted, with almost half unable to access remote education, compared to 38% in South Asia and 34% in eastern Europe and Central Asia. Latin America and the Caribbean had the lowest number of children affected, with 9% of students unable to access learning at home, said the report.
