The coronavirus epidemic has forced millions of poor children around the world to drop out of school to support their families, and child labor has increased. The school may be closed for a long time to avoid the risk of infection, so those children may drop out forever. According to the United Nations, about 24 million children worldwide will drop out of school because of the epidemic.
The epidemic has left many people jobless. Due to the lockdown, the income of the working class in particular has stopped. So parents as well as children have been forced to work to meet the expenses of the family. Most of the time these children have to work very hard. Somewhere they work in a very risky environment for health.
Almost all of the initiatives taken to ensure the right of all children to education, to stop child labor and to lift them out of poverty by improving their quality of life have now been stopped due to the epidemic. Which has affected about 1 billion school-going children. The education of many meritorious children has stopped.
No one can say when the school will reopen at the stage of the epidemic. There is great uncertainty as to whether all the children will be able to return even after the school reopens.
