Africa Educates Her Campaign is live in Angola. Day 3

 Lock-downs and school closures implemented during the pandemic have already caused millions girls to miss out on their educations, and 10 million more secondary school-aged girls are predicted to be out of school before it is over. But what’s the story behind these statistics? How are girls affected and how can we ensure that years of progress towards ending child marriage are not lost?

Today we have Rosa in our program. She will share with us her experiences during lockdowns.

All the interviews are being conducted in Portuguese. 

Note: this is a collection of stories via video from girls in primary, secondary and tertiary level who have been affected by the lockdowns.

Key questions answered are:

What is your name?

What is your age?

Country?

What level of education are you in?

How has COVID-19 affected you as a student?

What are the challenges you are facing or have faced in your pursuit to continue learning during the school lock-down?

And what do you think educators, government and development players can do to ensure every girl goes back to school after the lock-down?

We all can play a part, join the Africa Educates Her Campaign. Do not miss this opportunity, join us!
