Only half of Latin American children returned to classrooms
In almost five countries where they have barely returned to classrooms, less than 25% of students have continued face-to-face learning.
The United Nations Children's Fund, (Unicef), warned last Thursday that most of the children in Latin America and the Caribbean have not returned to the classrooms, so the conclusion of the schools before the Coronavirus pandemic continues to affect 71 million young people in the area.
Unicef added that in around five nations, just less than 25% of students have returned to schools.
Unicef's regional education advisor for Latin America and the Caribbean, Italo Dutra, mentioned that "such many young people and adolescents in Latin America and the Caribbean still do not study in the study hall."
For this reason, and to promote a review of classrooms, Unicef and Club Mundo Kids, Exile Content Studio's instructive series for young people in Spanish, have joined forces on another tune that praises schools as a place of refuge for children and adolescents to develop and learn.
The melody in Spanish called "My school, my home", has been composed by the musician winner of a scholarship Nacho González Nappa, and along with the music video can be seen on the YouTube channel of Club Mundo Kids.
The general director of Exile Content Studio, Alejandro Uribe, communicated that "imagining schools as a mysterious place of refuge for young people and adolescents to learn and investigate, was what encouraged us to the melody 'My school, my home'".
"With the help and support of Unicef, we trust that the Mundo Kids Club will motivate all children and youth with its hopeful message that there will soon be better days," said Uribe.
A report presented by Unicef last March showed that children in Latin America and the Caribbean have been the most affected on the planet by school dropouts related to the pandemic, since 3 out of 5 students in the area have lost all their school year.
