As countries across the globe are coping with their “back to school” plans, United Nation International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) released a report1 stating that at least 33% of school children globally were unable to access remote learning initiatives started by educational institutions. According to Henrietta Fore, the UNICEF Executive Director, the repercussions of this could be felt in societies and economies for years to come.
