No country that has reopened schools so far has had the pandemic under such little control. That’s what’s complicating everything for schools.
It’s emergency education. [Efforts to continue classes online is] trying to provide at least some educational opportunity, but it’s nowhere near what kids were receiving in schools.
Education should be, not only part of the investment for the future, but it's really a solution to [COVID-19] recovery. And I think that's important for developing countries in particular.
