Schools are among the worst institutional casualties of complex disasters. This has been the obvious case with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Boko Haram insurgency and other violent conflicts in Africa, which have caused the suspension and destruction of schools.
Countless schools have been damaged, closed or destroyed. Untold millions of students have been forced to suspend or to abandon their education because of violence or the pandemic. These disruptions have further blighted the already precarious educational foundation of the continent.

The decision to introduce a curfew as a mitigation measure towards the spread of Covid-19 in society has brought mixed reactions amongst some training institutions and their day-to-day operations.

Furthermore, we struggle with payments mainly salaries and utilities. Since the introduction of curfews, we opted to conduct classes over the weekends.”
