The World Health Organisation(WHO) and UNICEF said today that the government of Africa shoul;d reopen schools while taking measures to limit the spread of the virus. They said that the schools are closed to prevent the children from infecting but they are harming in different ways. The effect of extended education disruption is important, including poor nutrition, stress, increased exposure to violence and exploitation, childhood pregnancies. These are the challenges of children due to reduced interaction related to school closures.
A WHO survey shows that out of 39 countries in sub-Saharan Africa have reopened schools in only six countries, closed in 14 countries and partially open (exam classes) in 19 others. Also some other countries are planning to resume classroom learning in September, which is the start of the academic year in some countries.
