Overview

School closures refer to the temporary or permanent closure of educational institutions due to a variety of reasons, such as natural disasters, epidemics, wars and other security threats. The closures have wide-reaching consequences, both academically and economically, impacting the lives of millions of school-aged children, parents and teachers. School closures can result in disruption of curricula, lower educational outcomes, increased financial difficulties, and limited access to healthcare and counselling services. School closures can also lead to a disruption of the social lives of children and teachers, and impact their mental health. Governments and educational authorities must implement effective strategies to mitigate the effects of school closures, such as providing education through digital channels, emphasizing social support for the affected communities, and providing financial support for families.
