For young Zambian pupils, hopes for resuming school were almost becoming a reality. This reality has been plaguing many other children all around the globe. The unpredictable and unavoidable consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic seems to continue for an increasingly long time. For some children who have not had access to online study facilities, it has led to them staying idle at home. Needless to mention, this has caused anxiety and stress both for the children and parents. The children are having difficulties understanding why they cannot relate with their friends at school and not be able to learn. Whilst parents have run out of answers to explain why their children cannot go to school. This rollercoaster experience is unpleasant for everyone.
