Blog Writing Competition: How Can We Help Every Child Learn, Everywhere?
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted lives in every country around the world. And this health crisis is creating another crisis – an education crisis. The World Bank estimates that an additional 72 million primary school age children will fall into learning poverty, due to extended school closures caused by the pandemic. Learning poverty is when a child cannot read and understand a simple text by the age of 10.
The pandemic is amplifying an existing global learning crisis and puts an entire generation of students at risk of losing about $10 trillion in future lifetime earnings.
As the global community works on identifying solutions, WB and FT want to hear from those most affected – young people. Tell what you think by joining this blog competition.
Topic
How has your learning experience been affected by COVID-19? What would you tell educators and policy makers to do differently? What would make an impact on your learning experience?
