Africa Educates Her Campaign - Angola. Season 3. Don't Miss Out! Webisode 23

 Our girls back to school campaign is ongoing. Day 23

School closures caused by the pandemic exacerbated previously existing inequalities, and that children who were already most at risk of being excluded from a quality education have been most affected.

Many children received no education after schools closed across the continent in March 2020.

Today we are talking to kids. Luenda is no longer learning, she is only waiting for the school reopening to continue with her studies.

Hi, how are you?

I'm fine thanks.

How old are you?

I am 6 years old.

Luenda do you study?

Yes, I study in the first class.

Why don't you go to school anymore?

I don't go to school because of the coronavirus.

What is coronavirus?

Coronavirus is a disease that harms people.

Being at home, have you done anything to continue learning?

Yes I do. My school has been  distributing topics and exercises to solve at home.

Have you been following the coronavirus prevention measures?

Yes I have been following by using the mask, washing my hands with water and soap and disinfecting them with alcohol gel and keeping 2 meters away from people.

So, where is your mask?

I forgot it at home.

Are you afraid of the coronavirus?

Yes, I'm afraid of getting coronavirs.

Don't worry, this will pass soon.

Many children received no instruction, feedback, or interaction with their teachers. “Children are not taught during this period”. Although some students had received printed assignments, “We cannot say that this is normal education”.
