it's michael klauser on how you schuler crime shows. teachers. ian done was shown on the 14th in the household. this is how many children and young people worldwide experienced the pandemic. their scores were closed. often their parents lost their jobs. but now around the world classes are taking place in person again . welcome to the coven, 19 special. in this show, we take a closer look at what it's like for students and teachers to be together in classrooms. again, we had to germany, columbia, nigeria, and uganda. it's been more than 8 months since ugandans goons fully reopened. but teachers still unhappy with their pupils progress. most of the children wrote again and has been completely given us also and only been, oh right. they are names they what i can read their names,

they were fine again, everything was very new to them. so we started like letter by letter, identity them, other than even the 100 person with them. others, other than for would have been out 200 versus it. in march 2020, you gander, announced the full closure of schools to manage the spread of coded 19 milker and by basi thought it would last a week or 2. but it dragged on for 22 months. becoming the world's longest school closure. nearby red mother admitted our spin lake one my own, yet hold side to a few more surveys, but unfortunately, tame wintery never telling us that we have to go back to school. so was like, what? so no. what's the only thing i'm gonna do? milka unimed by policy is fine me back in school,

but her grades have dropped it affected me labor for missing and mid 1000000 to pick up on benefit that they wanted. i wanted to do head at is if very a coin i live in the district. i think so, so much, bye. 5th aid. mila from lake noah. expected it made me 1st me pick up from the mission that was in lakes. many students are struggling to catch up. now that they're back at school. teachers say that it's even harder for those who had started working during the 2 year school break the they or is thinking of their business as i say, some of them we discover they have caused jeopardy stalls yet. they've been attending to, ah, my talk o our stores, i get a good so they could get some money. it has been a charlie. we find that even some goes on. it goes through to the engage in in

cooperating, expecting some thing from the boys. because i've been used to getting some money, it's hard to put it in place now because my main is leg supposed to many things. then i didn't know a lot of things because i had less stamped, forgotten the, i'd say abroad i had done my books and then me and then school. but then after then inquired, were exposed to walking. it's a big now, do i connecting my own men? was, was that most of my friends are there outside mickey, would men in vasa, back again in school? the uganda national examinations board reports that students have performed poorly since the pandemic, numeracy or the ability to do basic math has fallen by over 18 percent. and more pupils have also dropped out of school often due to cov, it in juice, poverty and teenage pregnancies thought is wells on adolescent girls were reported to have been pregnant during their coverage period,

meaning that there was $1000.00 girls on daily beth is getting pregnant surely that's our disaster for our country, and it is going to have a vicious cycle because you will not have a skilled labor. you will not have a very productive labor. you'll have a population, does it? that is largely bizarre entry the u. n. reports that even before the pandemic, nearly 60 percent of the world's 10 year olds could not read and understand a simple text. covey 19 has now deepened that crisis, especially in sub saharan africa schools in nigeria. we're also closed for months due to the corona virus pandemic. and here to the authorities, but also international organizations and companies have tried to reduce the

resulting educational deficits by developing digital learning models. but not everyone was able to benefit from its gosh design. i've been amara added, jerry are preparing for the new school year. both sisters topped their classes last year and are determined to do that again this semester. they're taking lessons on a digital platform called the nigeria learning passport. now i'm studying biology and then it'll allow flooding, flu shot, and then they were effects of pollution. on the nigeria learning passport preschool to secondary school. pupils can register to take video lessons on demand. i like the dean redeemer yelling and festival because it makes me understand there is no noise. i come back, wendy. i can push through today can dotted gown and i and i can understand is harry

nigeria recently joined 20 other countries to adopt the learning passport. it's a tool that was developed by unicef and microsoft to help students continue learning in spite of academic disruptions. the let him passport actually initiative started, but 230 years ago. oh it, i forget eastern in the emergency contacts environment. ah, the blog meant the deployment actually was accelerated with the cupboard 19 demeka that struck that the world. it's the 1st day of school. good morning class. i would wanna sit down zine abs teacher introduced her and other classmates to the nigeria learning passport. now she wants to see if the students actually used it. oh, the many pass. go to study at all about. oh, crazy proof by don't be shy sun. oh,

zine av is one of just for pupils. other say their parents can afford data, smart phones or tablets. so they can't learn online. almost half of nigerians have no internet access. the government is working to make the learning passport available offline, but expects to reach just 3000000 other countries. 20000000 children by year's end back at home, zine knob and america are doing their afternoon chores. they don't know how much longer their parents can continue to buy data for their online lessons. but they plan to use every opportunity to fulfill their dreams. if any of his name is kate said, because sounds frequently made a cool little thought offered him. study made it seem so and without education and is now until a hero. dismay. oh my goodness el camino been educated. oh oh, while pupils like sy, knob in america, are lucky to have access to the learning passports. millions of other children in

nigeria may never get the chance to use it. digital learning was also wide spread on other continents during the pandemic, such as latin america. but in columbia, it became clear that there was also a downside, and the inequality between rich and poor was also brought into stock. contrast columbia's constitutional court says that many young people did not receive the education they needed during the locked downs. diana true, been young, is a 6th grade student at a public school in columbia. she completed the 4th and 5th grades at home using what's up. but she feels that she didn't learn enough this way since the pandemic. it's more difficult to keep up with the school. in 5th grade, i understood something with but not everything that i felt anxious. i thought what

if they asked me stuff and i don't know anything that they might be angry with me, help improve her academic performance. diana is attending extra lessons outside of school. she said, she's happy to sacrifice her free time because it's helping her to catch up with who you know, you look on my company, my rating comprehension has encouraged. i wasn't writing law before. and then i also enjoy reading and writing much more than i used. i didn't used to be into reading much much. the extra lessons were organized by teachers like 5 young velasco. the glasses help him to understand the difficulties that his students are facing so that he knows how he can best support them. he is well aware that the pandemic created big challenges for public schools. students perfect all and then you'll see them on many of the children had connectivity issues because their families just didn't have enough phones and laptops. it was all very limited to

your schools and other educational institutions tried to find solutions, but out in them, but it was an easy moy party. they were families with 2 or 3 children, but only one working device at all. as a result, the gap in education standards between private and public schools grew during the pandemic x. but say the inequality was already there before cove it, but the pandemic has exacerbated the problems. lot, 3, given the short, thousands and thousands of children and young people in columbia had their right to education denied during the pandemic to speaker various calling from columbia to out of every 3 young people in public schools in columbia. did not have a computer issue characters in here, so we're a good part of the last 2 years. so those students were unable to continue their education. docile to more so many feel they now need to work harder to catch up

with students at private schools. maria julianna is also attending extra curricular classes. good. oak is as the pandemic is definitely made things more difficult in 8th grade science is like chemistry and physics became individual subjects como. but that was when everything went on line. so i missed out on all the basics of they subject. what is it now in 10th grade the material? well, learning is much more complex, but i feel like i don't have the basics of fuzzy going. what but? maria juliana essays, academic challenges on the only problem. she's notice that many of her classmates are now more anxious and insecure than they were before the pandemic. see? yes, it's something you nurses and i think we sometimes just ignore it. or maybe because we think there, exaggerating, or that these mental health issues are considered trendy. cosy. but these are problems that are affecting a lot of students right now. what? hello. this is mainly because they spent the entire pandemic glued to an electronic

device period. and that increased their problems before it goes it's the school has actually decided to limit the use of cell phones and tablets. assignments are now written by hand instead. the school is also adding students to us for psychological help if they need it. after the, i mean day, many of the students are experiencing problems with the and they've been exposed to screen for 2 years without limitations. one by many are now addicted to devices. i see on this up there were also exposed to pornography that invaded their homes without limits or controls fasten when they were at school. we regulated everything was content but at home. and that was impossible to live on for level schools in columbia doing all they can to give back to their students the last years. it's a daily effort that requires a major commitment, not just from the teachers, but also when the students

that busy life worldwide children are back in the classroom in the northern hemisphere, autumn and winter are approaching many fear, a new wave of corona virus infections. what is schools doing to prepare for that? what are their biggest concerns in germany, worries about another coven, 19 outbreak, a compounded by the current energy crisis. the new school year began, or quite normally, without masks or covetous. the huge relief for students at the paola through school in the south western city of fryeburg. the caters for children from elementary school to university entrance age. he thinks it as antonio still school director geared pollock is concerned about the weeks ahead. experts say the infection numbers could rise considerably this fall. the government says it's well prepared, but get pollock isn't convinced in detail this and that we're not getting any

details on what preparations have been made. honest as the school we're pretty uninformed. as far as covered regulations for the fall, i concerned, we don't know what measures are to be taken if there's a new wave of infections. soon hyphen will automatically be told what to do at the last minute, just like last fall, but then still have to carry everything out very carefully. which means as the school will have to act very fast and it didn't d afforded his code and additional norms. it so in other words, things would be very stressful. again, in schools, teachers associations are calling for a clear action plan. but so far, all that's been said is that measures in schools could be tightened up if the situation requires it. the government wants to remain flexible. most of the children aren't bothered, as long as there's no return to online classes. sen, distributor. it'd be a shame after we've started to relax and gain confidence in the situation. to have

the feeling that that's all going to be taken away again, pick an alert. it also us gavin, i'm, i'm asking if they bring back masks or testing. that's okay. obviously it's simpler without yeah. what would be good is if we could at least stain school. one thing seems clear. there are no plans to close schools again. but its infection sore. there could be a move to reduce class sizes with some of the students watching online from home. teachers here don't relish that prospect, but say it would be doable. i'm t let's like vanity math, mom if that's a decision that is taken and there's no way around it. then we leave manage. it had a plan. we are equipped with various digital platforms. we have a lot more i pads and laptops and we're getting more training for our teaching. staff said that they're up to date. the thing off stansell hired i want fighter to bearden mama's out of your song on my 5 options. we have 2 years of experience now this and we know we can divide the children into groups and that makes things more,

relax. marti's i, it was relaxed. but when i 1st was generating more debate among colleagues at the moment, is the energy crisis us, which after which will be a double whammy coming together with the covey crisis this autumn, that is a combi zone. it's yet another challenge for schools, particularly because of the need to have plenty of fresh air. wouldn't be able to give music of many classrooms now have aerosol filters, but they're not sufficient on their own school. they're still required to ventilate classrooms regularly, which makes it more difficult to save energy. gordon says he has food as modesty. lemme of to enzo to move as a dilemma for us is that we're supposed to ventilate as much as possible on that and, and also supposed to keep the room temperature at a comfortable level, which means heating more intense eva, unless you have great equipment that heats the fresh air coming in, you have to turn up the heating more to keep the room temperature stable in winter restock off to the mud. we don't have

a solution for this dilemma of insulin to there's no strategy for how we're going to deal with it. the i'm a kind of do i guess we'll just have to try and find a happy medium. it was not on good, mr. vick think he's push lighten, but some classrooms could get a little chilly this winter. at least that's what many parents fear under the school's parent representative is calling for a pragmatic approach off with us. my can the kid november unseen, the children can wear walmack clothes. you can try to ventilate why the children are outside unable to move around to keep warm, etc. but of course, some parents of worried the child could get sick because the classrooms went eventually to was much longer than broken off. they fear the children will pay the price. there's been some quite inflammatory comments because people are worried. stephen did us on this columbia, it's trauma for will young now. the children could be facing another strenuous winter. but then again, maybe the adults are just worrying too much,

as it's been up to mr. i'm pretty optimistic in a system and you need to bay, i shall. we wouldn't have gotten through this time without a bit of optimism hintock off. of course, you do worry about it now, and then next week after that, i want to focus on the credit and of the system. and that's what we learned during the pandemic man to enjoy what you had in the here. and now me see the money. it's kind of no one knows how bad the predicted new wave of infections will be in the fall. the paula for school is prepared as well as they can be under the current conditions. developing and improving vaccines is still keeping we're such as busy. could a vaccine administered through the nose, help protect us all from another wave. china and india have just approved it. how's it supposed to work? when you're given a standard set of coven, 19 vaccines wire injection. it kicks off

a response in the self new by causing your immune system to begin producing antibodies. other parts of your body soon begin turning out protective sounds called memory t cells and be cells creating what's known as systemic immunity. this means protection against the virus is spread throughout the body systems. initial exposure to solids, cove you to however, happens in a specific place, the upper respiratory tract. this is where the virus invades, but it can take time for the protective cells and antibodies to reach here. one potential way to amp up the response is to apply vaccines. virus spray directly to the area where respiratory bugs get into the body, creating more localized protection where it's needed most kind of like putting guards at the front door of the house to fend off intruders rather than in the attic or the basement. this is called mucosal immunity because it's created in the

membranes exposed directly to the outside world. the goal is to make it impossible for the corona virus to gain a foothold. other advantages that nasal spray have ever injections include not having to train personnel as intensely to apply them. and of course, they take needles out the process entirely. nobody likes those. many nasal vaccine candidates are currently in clinical trials on a few have now been authorized in some countries including china, india, antivirus injection. the authorized naval vaccines are mostly aimed at providing updates to protection by kick starting mucosal immunity. this supplements the underlying systemic community provided by injections. i'm provides an extra layer of immune system support, right, where it's needed most nasally administered covey. vaccines still have to clear regulatory hurdles in most countries,

but more of them will one day likely see why to use. because they'll make getting regular boosters also to other respiratory diseases. a simple and painless process . ah, before we go, let's hear a little more from children from different parts of the world telling us what it's like to be back in school. thanks for joining us. stay healthy and we look forward to seeing you again next week. unplug pain and difficult for me. as you wake up at 4, i, tom, i used to work up at any time i went, i get anything that i was at school. i was difficult and i had took ice out please months. phase 3 lags. sit on my floor and you gonna refer me for call warner. thus, when does this when i looked on good that this would clocked?
