Only one in three students in the world will find their way back to their school at the end of the summer, worries Unesco in a statement released on Monday, affirming that two thirds of students remain "without school", or at better "in uncertainty", because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
At a time when the French Ministry of Education wants a "return to school as normal as possible", Unesco revealed in a statement published on Monday, August 31 that only one in three students in the world would be able to return to classrooms of a school at the end of summer. Two-thirds of students around the world remain "without school" or "in uncertainty" caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Of a total of 1.5 billion children in pre-primary to secondary school worldwide, 900 million usually return to school between August and October. The other 600 million are in another school calendar (January-November, March-December ...).
About 128 million have already started in a new class and 433 million, in 155 countries, should do the same in the coming weeks, a total of 561 million students, specifies the United Nations organization for education, science and culture.
But a billion students, or two thirds of the world's school population, remain "without school or in a situation of uncertainty", she underlines, while several European countries are starting their school year.
