The COVID-19 immobilized the economy, growth, day to day activities. The offices were closed or open with a limited number of employees. The schools were shut down. UNESCO United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation have estimated that around 11 million girls won’t be coming back to schools once the lockdown is lifted around the world. The UNESCO head Audsrey Azoulay said the organization is worried about the fact that in many countries the closure of schools has unfortunately led to losses during her visit to a high school in after 3 days from the Congo republic school reopening.
The head said UNESCO is estimating that 11 million girls will be unable to go back to school around the world. As a precautionary to this situation, French government has already launched an awareness campaign on the need for the children to go back to school known from the French Culture Ministry. The UNESCO head says the education still remains unequal for girls. The education Minister of Congo, Willy Bakonga urged UNESCO head to support the country's programme of free public primary education launched by the Congo President Felix Tshisekedi in September 2019. The programme helps 4 million children to join or rejoin the education system in the poor but -rich Central African country. The UNESCO head has appreciated "enormous challenges" at hand in terms of infrastructure, teacher training and budgeting and praised the reforms as "very ambitious".
