UNICEF calls for keeping schools open without any excuses

UNICEF calls on schools to keep schools open UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Four called for an end to the epidemic in the world.

In a statement, Four called on the governments of the world to take all necessary steps to ensure that the Omicron type of Covid-19 spreads around the world so that it does not interfere with children's education.

A statement from the World Health Organization (WHO) said: "In the current crisis, difficult decisions have to be made. We acknowledge that the Kovid-19 epidemic poses an unprecedented challenge to the education system around the world. However, in this case the risk is very high. Together we need to do everything we can to keep our children in school. ”

The statement also made some recommendations to avoid disruption in children's education and to get children back on their learning path. "We know that no child will be left behind if we can ensure investment in digital connectivity," it said. We need to take urgent steps to get every child back to school. This includes providing comprehensive support to marginalized children in each community with specific targets. For example, taking extra classes to fill the teaching gap, providing mental health and nutrition support, protection and other services. ”

"Immediately vaccinate teachers and school staff," the statement said. Teachers and school staff should be given full support and priority in administering the vaccine to first-line health workers and the high-risk population immediately after the vaccination of Covid-19. ”
