An estimated 90 percent of the world’s school-aged children have
had their education disrupted by the pandemic, according to UNESCO.
We know that before the COVID pandemic, 1 in 5 children and young
people around the world were not in school. That’s an estimated 263
million children missing out on an education (UN, 2018). What will
we see next for street children who already had so many barriers to
entering education, what will the impact be on their learning and
their future?
📖85% of street children in Nepal are illiterate.
✏️More than a third of 10–14-year-olds in Nepal are working which
means they are unable to attend school full time.
