United Nations — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Tuesday the coronavirus pandemic has led to the largest disruption of education in history, with schools closed in more than 160 countries in mid-July, affecting over 1 billion students.
In addition, the U.N. chief said at least 40 million children worldwide have missed out on education "in their critical preschool year."
As a result, Guterres warned that the world faces "a generational catastrophe that could waste untold human potential, undermine decades of progress, and exacerbate entrenched inequalities."
Even before the pandemic, Guterres said, the world faced "a learning crisis," with more than 250 million children out of school, and only a quarter of secondary school youngsters in developing countries leaving school "with basic skills."
According to a global projection covering 180 countries by the U.N. education agency UNESCO and partner organizations, some 23.8 million additional children and youths from pre-primary school to university level are at risk of dropping out or not having access to school next year due to the pandemic's economic impact.
"We are at a defining moment for the world's children and young people," Guterres said in a video message and a 26-page policy briefing. "The decisions that governments and partners take now will have lasting impact on hundreds of millions of young people, and on the development prospects of countries for decades to come."

The enemy wants people to be stupid, it's part of their plan, we knew that
What surprises me is that a United Nations high-ranking official is not on the Jewish payroll! and this official exposes part of the enemy's plan
