Parental control function. Time using the phone is limited to 2 hours the parents also monitor this using an up because of Digital Learning the eldest daughter was often online for lengthy periods. Of time so i found it a bit annoying to be stuck at my computer the whole day off the day i was home alone by a lengthy periods as my parents found that my siblings were in Emergency Childcare guns and own but it was good not to have to walk all the way to school and i could sleep in until 7 am. Her sister 1st started using a smartphone during the Coronavirus Crisis. Hosmer teaches courses for young adults on how to use smartphones and other Digital Tools in his experience children can learn a lot this way. I think its more important that parents try to understand rather than prohibit if you know what your children are doing on the internet what they might be afraid of what they dont understand and what confuses them and they can better understand what their children want what motivates them and lead them in productive ways. When. The family has discovered a cooking up today vegetarian walk amole are on the menu. But no smartphones off the table during the meal. Today School Children will eventually grow up and adult sized problems perhaps bigger than the ones weve ever know how to look. For vast sums of being spent to bail out the ravaged economies hundreds of billions of euros in germany. In india. In china. Sandeman United States trillions. Governments have to borrow most of this money but who will pay the debt back. Todays elderly for todays young. Much public debt only comes to you decades later that means todays young will carry the can in many countries. There is already a shortage of jobs and training opportunities higher taxes and spending cuts are quite likely in the future so are todays millennial as the main losers in the Coronavirus Crisis. Not necessarily they might also stand to benefit if investment is focused on shaping the future. Education digitalisation. Environmental protection. If firms are kept going through the crisis jobs should become available again holders of government bonds should eventually get paid out to days young will inherit public debt but some of them will also inherit government bonds so members of the same generation will be paying each other back. If an economy grow strongly repaying debt wont be a huge problem. Protracted crisis by contrast would be a disaster. Inflation bankruptcies mass unemployment would be much muscle coming generations and inheriting a pile of public debt. Professor not god bosman is the director of the ethos center for the economics of education and he joins us now professor of us spend there currently researching on the effects of the Coronavirus Crisis on the Younger Generation are you worried about the current lack of classroom education for many schoolchildren as i certainly am so worldwide more than one and a half 1000000000 schoolchildren are affected by the School Closures. They are meant to do this work at home right nobody actually know very little about all thats working i mean how many of the children have regular online instruction or how many are just left on their own for drammen e we have just done a major study where we surveyed more than a 1000 parents about how they out were actually spending the time during the School Closures what we learned is that the time thats spent students spent on school actually have to ring that doing their coronato times 38 percent of students in germany study for at most 2 hours per day during the School Closures 03 quarters for at most 4 hours they actually spend much more time on t. V. On on Computer Games on mobile phones that increase from fallers to much more than 5 or a small weaker students were particular lead affected and replaced learning with passive activities we also asked what the schools were actually doing during those times and actually 45 percent off students even in germany never had any shared online lessons during those times only 6 percent had it on a daily basis and even less often that students have individual contact with their teachers and that of course is not a very good way to learn. Thats not a good way to learn as you say in kenya already tell us what kind of hit to the economy will experience that todays children dont receive the kind of comprehensive education and training they will need later on while research has shown that the basic skills of the population a probably the most important long term determinant of Economic Growth of a country and therefore of the prosperity of our society youre going to use these empirical effects that you have to project out to future growth and if you assume that the currently hits unocal hot like just 12 quarts get a loss due to the corona and used School Closures off about a 3rd Office School years learning and then actually assume that everybody afterwards returned spec to normal now and even such a thing or you know one year the total Economic Loss of more than one percent of future g. D. P. So this is not just a one time loss as we currently have in our economies but this is going to be staying there for ever these mean several trillion dollars for most Major Economies todays kill schoolchildren are of course tomorrows workforce and theyll be saddled with paying off the billions and pandemic debt that their countries have encouraged in order to safeguard their economies so firstly they already saw their prospects worsen when they were young only to have to shoulder this debt into adulthood what do you think that will do to society if you lose a 3rd of a school year of learning than this is generally associated with never actually with an income loss in the future of about 3 to 4 percent or never but then again over the entire working life so it really would really mean that the individual students who are hit right now will just on everetts have the be less prosperous will be. Doing not as well as they would have gotten an almost education is there any way to head off these negative outcomes for young people and i think we have to try to do everything to enable trigger and to learn again and right now really so wherever its possible if the. Virus iteration allows that we should try to open up schools where this is not feasible schools really need to switch to online teaching right away it is important that the kids are not left on their own again and teachers have to explain the material and i call the kids are doing we have to make sure that we make up the lost material that we should focus particularly on the basic skills that are the foundation for additional learning and to make schools even better in the future more effective in helping kids to learn and i think we need to provide particularly Additional Support for the weeks you professor ned gov osman of the ethan center for the economics of education thanks for your insights. Here questions now anger science correspondent derek williams. Can you tell us more about dixon methods. Decks and methods own is one of the drugs that doctors now prescribe at that critical stage of covert 19 that i just mentioned when the immune system has gone into overdrive and starts attacking healthy tissue and the body a major study in britain thats still in peer review discovered that in critically ill patients who need respiratory support the compounds lowers mortality by between a 5th and and a 3rd which is actually pretty huge dexa meth is known as whats known as a corticosteroid and its widely used to treat many different conditions that cause painful or dangerous inflammation its also in immuno suppressant so it can help calm down the immune system when its running a mock but that also makes doctors wary about about giving patients the drug too early when the immune system needs to be active its not a new drug but one thats been approved for use for well over 50 years now so so its cheap its widely available and perhaps most importantly production of it can be can be ramped up quickly.
