The United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, says school closings have affected the education of more than 80 percent of students worldwide. Robert Jenkins is the organization’s Global Chief of Education. He said, Based on lessons learned with the school closures in response to Ebola, the longer children stay away from school, the less likely they are to ever return. Ebola is a highly infectious virus that has affected areas in Africa periodically over more than 40 years. The coronavirus crisis has spread to at least 175 countries affecting children around the world. UNICEF says it is aiding 145 low and middle income countries with tools and money to help children continue their learning.
