Education inequalities widened due to COVID pandemic: UNESCO

Part of: GS Prelims and Mains II – Govt schemes and programmes; Welfare/Development issue

In news:

According to 2020 Global Education Monitoring Report released by UNESCO,

COVID-19 pandemic has increased inequalities in education systems across the world.
About 40% of low- and lower-middle-income countries have not supported learners at risk of exclusion during this crisis.
In April 2020, almost 91% of students around the world were out of school.
Poor, linguistic minorities and learners with disabilities were affected more as resources for such persons may not be available outside schools.
For poor students who depend on school for free meals or even free sanitary napkins, closures have been a major blow.
