Friend, just a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, more children are out of school now than ever before in history.

From the United States to Malawi to Burundi, school closures have impacted more than 91 percent of students worldwide -- that's around 1.6 billion children and young people.

But learning doesn't stop in a pandemic. Every child has the right to an education, so UNICEF is working with partners to keep students learning wherever they are -- in refugee camps, at home, online and offline. Take a look at what remote learning looks like for children around the world:

Syria:

Children in Syria are using Self-Learning Program books they received from UNICEF to continue learning core subjects like Arabic, English, math and science -- even amid the threats of war and COVID-19.

Timor-Leste:

In Timor-Leste, children can access UNICEF's online curriculum, e-books and videos through the Learning Passport platform, developed in partnership with Microsoft.

Rwanda:

Children in Rwanda are turning to radio to continue learning. UNICEF is helping produce and broadcast classes focused on literacy and numeracy for students around the country.

Vietnam:

In Vietnam, UNICEF produced a video on how to prevent transmission of COVID-19 using sign language to reach hearing-impaired children. Sign language will also be included in more online resources.

Friend, seeing these photos makes one thing clear: Kids want to keep learning. No matter where you live, you want the same things for your children that every parent wants: health and safety, learning and growth. UNICEF is working hard to bring these things to the most vulnerable children -- and you can help. Support our work >>
