Covid pandemic impedes learning in schools
The COVID pandemic is overwhelming education systems and hampering learning in schools around the world. The effects vary according to country, family background and access to substitute education, but children are particularly affected. In the United States, it affected 55 million children under the age of 18 – or approximately 1.4 billion people globally. There are many ways to address the challenges of the COVID pandemic and to make it less threatening for children.
The CDC published a brief describing the evidence about COVID among children and adolescents. It also provides recommendations for prevention strategies. This should be a layered approach. School administrators should consider local COVID community transmission when designing preventative strategies for their schools. There are many factors that can affect the health of children, including poverty. Children who live in poor neighborhoods and those with low incomes have the greatest difficulty accessing nutrition and shelter. This has significant and tangible consequences for their development.
