One of the most outstanding effects of the Covid-19 pandemic is the suspension of formal delivery of education. The school provides the foundation—reading, writing and ciphering—that if well established, should enable young people to continue learning wherever they are. It takes curiosity and some level of restlessness to want to look for bases or storehouses of knowledge. These are storehouses of information, knowledge and wisdom that young people can give their time and energies to during these unusual times. Acceptable standards of education are not confined to a school setting, important to modern civilisation as schooling might be.
