The impact of Covid on children's education

According to Unicef, the impact of Covid on children's education is “considerable”: at least 24 million students will never return to school, the organization says.


Closed schools, limited Internet access, confinement ... Beyond its health consequences, the coronavirus is far from having facilitated the education of young children around the world. According to a study published by Unicef ​​on Wednesday, the finding is clear: around 463 million children were unable to benefit from education during the crisis because they could not do so virtually.

While at the height of confinement, around 1.5 billion schoolchildren were affected by school closures, UNICEF calls "a global education emergency". The repercussions could be felt in economies and societies for decades to come.

More than 90% of the student population worldwide was physically out of school during the lockdown. This crisis has therefore worsened an already considerable dropout situation in the world: before the crisis, one in five children was not in school.

The impact on the education of young children across the world is considerable and it is absolutely necessary that developing countries devote a significant portion of their national budgets to education, to lessen the impacts of this crisis in the short, medium. and the long term. These budgets must in no case be cut.

      An estimated 40% of the poorest countries were unable to help at-risk students during the health crisis, and the experience
      shows that educational inequalities and gender inequalities are generally not taken into account in measures to combat epidemics.

      In developing countries, many students, especially younger students and those from minority groups, do not speak
      fluent in the language of instruction. Even when they have access to content they understand, living conditions, economic stress and parents' low level of education, in particular their poor mastery of digital tools, mean that many children do not benefit from the framework. stable and the educational support they need to adapt to new teaching methods. In most European countries, children from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds have fewer opportunities to read, do not have a quiet room in which to work, and are not supported by their parents. In both low-income and upper-middle-income countries, children from the poorest households receive much less help with their homework.

Protection of Personal Data in the Information System

Protection of personal data is sometimes seen as a constraint on an organization, but also as a reserved area for a well-identified member of the legal services or the information systems directorate to ensure that the correct forms of declaration are sent and that the mandatory information appears where it is expected. Nevertheless, administrative rules and constraints, which may be difficult for those responsible for designing or operating systems, are only a particularly visible part of a set of regulations established and maintained to avoid that individuals (employees, customers, partners, users, prospects...) are reached in their private life. A "breach of privacy" is a real legal and operational risk for an organization, whether the organization is a company, an association, an administration... It generally takes its source in a failure of the personal information confidentiality and can take the form of uncontrolled disclosure, identity theft, intrusion or unwanted i
