The UNICEF office in Colombo marked World Children's Day yesterday (29) by noting the importance of reopening schools in the country.
"We want schools to open as soon as possible, with all appropriate measures taken. 69% of households in Sri Lanka report that children are faring far less in academics compared to how they were pre-pandemic. Connectivity issues, the unavailability of parents to help children during the online session are some reasons that have hampered the children's ability to learn," UNICEF Representative Christian Skoog stated.
He went on to say that children from poorer households are the most affected, due to the lack of resources.
"Over 40% of households have access to a computer, whereas with one computer multiple children cannot be taught,” Skoog explained.
In conclusion, Skoog stated that such difficulties faced by children affect their ability to interact and continue learning.
