There are thousands of children and youth not attending school due to Covid-19 and related problems. School dropout has also been exacerbated by pre-Covid-19 educational inequalities.

Education is a shared responsibility, and progress can only be made through common efforts. This is essential to meeting Universal Primary Education in response to Sustainable Development Goal on education (SDG 4).
