We are forgetting the importance of education amidst the pandemic

Arya Quality Education

A global coalition of multilateral and NGOs have called for urgent investment in education to prevent a catastrophe in the future. At a Global Education Meeting, hosted by UNESCO, the Save Our Future campaign, put forward a roadmap with concrete recommendations for governments to build and improve education systems. A total of 1.6 billion children and youth had their education as a result of the pandemic. Never have so many children missed school. Despite social and economic impacts, there is the risk governments will prioritise investments in education, as they are too concentrated on addressing the pandemic. This means low and lower-middle-income countries could face financing gaps of around $200 billion. Without government action, this crisis could affect many children, who may never be able to recover. Governments should therefore prioritise reopening schools, resume vital health and nutrition services to children and treat the education force as frontline workers.
