    Coronavirus: UNICEF to help school students in India continue studies
  • The coronavirus outbreak has disrupted the education of as many as 80% of school students worldwide.

  • UNICEF Global Chief of Education Robert Jenkins said, "Unless we collectively act now to protect children's education, societies and economies will feel the burden long after we've beaten COVID-19. In the most vulnerable communities, the impact will span generations."
