Pandemic’s Dire Global Impact on Education

The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted education for around 90 percent of the world’s school children. Students, parents, and teachers in 60 countries talked to Human Rights Watch about how school shutdowns affected children’s right to education. How does your pandemic experience compare with that of people around the world? What if you had to live like this forever?

The report documents how Covid-related school closures affected children unequally, as not all children had the opportunities, tools, or access needed to keep on learning during the pandemic.  The heavy reliance on online learning exacerbated the existing unequal distribution of support for education, Human Rights Watch found. Many governments did not have the policies, resources, or infrastructure to roll out online learning in a way that ensured that all children could participate on an equal basis.
