Full announcement:

The children of primary and high school schools in Kosovo have no access to education for four weeks now. U n NICEF is deeply concerned with this delay at the beginning of the school year, especially at the time when all efforts should focus on compensation for learning losses due to COVID-19.

We are experiencing a global crisis in teaching, with nearly two thirds of children aged 10 unable to read and understand a simple text, and continued deprivation of the right to education can have serious consequences on educational achievements, mental health and child well-being.

We need to put the children's best interests first and make sure they can get back to learning as soon as possible. ”
