Due to Corona epidemic, education of schools and students from all over the world including India has been affected. Last year, schools were closed for almost the entire year due to the lockdown imposed for prevention of infection. The education system had come on track in the new year that Corona once again started to spread its legs. The United Nations is making continuous efforts to bring the education system back on track in India.
The United Nations team is helping to safely reopen schools and continue online education in some areas in the midst of the global epidemic in India. Under this, the focus is on the children of marginalized and disadvantaged communities. UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutarais spokesman Stephen Dujaric said in a daily press conference on Thursday that the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is working on ‘e-learning’ and other programs in 17 states in India.
UN gave 3,000 education kits
He told that under this, 60 million children are being reached. Half of them are female students. He said the United Nations Refugee Agency helped more than 3,400 refugee children receive education and provided nearly 3,000 education kits. UNICEF also trained four lakh people associated with the field of ‘Early Childhood Education’ (infant education or from birth to eighth grade).
Emphasis on education of underprivileged community
Dujarik said that in India, our team is helping to open schools safely and continue online education in some areas, focusing on children from marginalized and disadvantaged communities. After the rise in Corona cases in many countries, countries are again returning to sanctions like night curfew and lockdown. This is also having an impact on schools.
IED secured large area
At the same time, the United Nations chief told the Security Council on Thursday that 560 square kilometers of areas of major centers from Afghanistan and Iraq to Cambodia and Colombia were protected by IEDs from the funds given by United Nations in the last three years. He told that this area is 10 times more than the area of Manhattan, which can now be used in buildings, farming, schools and roads.
