The disadvantaged school during the pandemic crisis
The coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) has caused an unprecedented crisis in all areas. In the field of education, this emergency has led to the massive closure of face-to-face activities of educational institutions in more than 190 countries in order to prevent the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. According to data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), by mid-May 2020, more than 1.2 billion students at all levels of education worldwide had stopped having face-to-face classes. On March 25, after years of consultations and preparations, the European Commission launched the Child Guarantee (CG) to address child poverty and rising disparities across the EU. In this context, the crisis will have a profoundly negative impact on the various social sectors, particularly health and education, as well as on employment and poverty.
