In veel landen is er van een heropening geen sprake, en blijven scholen gesloten om de verdere verspreiding van COVID-19 te stoppen. Tegen het einde van dit jaar zullen er door die maatregelen alleen 9,7 miljoen kinderen zijn die nooit meer terug naar school gaan.
[[en]]For children who, even before the corona crisis, spent most of their time on the streets, the situation is very alarming. Lockdowns, social distancing and hygiene measures are not only difficult to follow when you don't have a home, but also reduce your chances of survival. It is difficult to estimate exactly how many children are affected. They are not registered, are invisible and therefore often do not have access to government assistance. In India and Uganda, not possessing an identity card often makes the difference between food or no food.

Lockdowns, afstand houden en hygiënemaatregelen zijn niet alleen moeilijk te volgen wanneer je geen huis hebt, maar zorgen ook voor minder kansen om te overleven. Hoeveel kinderen er exact getroffen worden, is moeilijk in te schatten. Ze zijn niet geregistreerd, zijn onzichtbaar en hebben dus ook vaak geen toegang tot hulp van de overheid. Geen identiteitskaart op zak betekent in India en Oeganda vaak het verschil tussen eten en geen eten.
[[en]]Our Mobile School partners do everything in their power to reach these children, with or without a mobile school. In Sri Lanka, our partner Child Action Lanka prepared packages with basic necessities and learning materials based on the activities of the mobile school. Thanks to these learning papers, the children of some neighborhoods could continue to learn in a fun way. Since a couple of weeks, the mobile school has hit the streets again and children can get back to work on the black board and with the educational games.

In Sri Lanka maakte onze partner Child Action Lanka pakketten met basisbenodigdheden én leermateriaal gebaseerd op de activiteiten van de mobiele school. Dankzij dit initiatief konden de kinderen van enkele wijken op een plezante manier blijven leren. Sinds een aantal weken trekt ook de mobiele school weer de straat op, en kunnen de kinderen weer wekelijks aan de slag met het bord en de educatieve spelen.
[[en]]In Mexico however, schools will not reopen until 2021. Until then, students are able to watch or listen to broadcasted lessons daily on television and radio. Beyond the fact that not everyone can be reached via television and radio, this situation eliminates all interaction. Students with questions have nowhere to turn. Our partner Yolia in Mexico was forced to put the mobile school aside for a while, but continued to closely monitor the children, youngsters and families they work with, online and by telephone. In addition, the team developed an interactive curriculum to combat school backlog. [[fr]]In Mexico however, schools will not reopen until 2021.

Tot dan kunnen leerlingen kijken of luisteren naar lessen die dagelijks uitgezonden worden via de televisie en de radio. Naast het feit dat niet iedereen via televisie en radio bereikt kan worden, valt alle interactie daardoor natuurlijk weg, dus leerlingen die vragen hebben, blijven daarmee zitten. Onze partner Yolia in Mexico moest noodgedwongen de mobiele school ook even aan de kant zetten maar bleef de kinderen, jongeren en families waarmee ze werken wel van nabij opvolgen, online en via de telefoon. Daarnaast werkte het team een interactief lessenpakket uit om schoolachterstand tegen te gaan.
