How many students are at risk of not returning to school?
|
| |
UNESCO published a paper presenting the findings of a simulation exercise covering 180 countries and territories, which estimates that around 24 million students (from pre-primary to tertiary education) will be at risk of not returning to education institutions in 2020, including care centres, schools, universities and other training institutions.
These findings point to the need to strengthen the resilience of education systems and address the drivers of education exclusion.
