أثر جائحة كوفيد-19 على حق الطفل في نيل التعليم

Abstract EN

The right to education has been enshrined in a number of international and regional instruments and treaties, guaranteeing the right to equal access to education from childhood, because of its role in the advancement of the individual and the society, its primacy and its dignity.

Thus, any compensation, violation or denial of a child’s right to education is detrimental at the individual and collective levels, potentially leading to wars, humanitarian catastrophes and/or health crises.

Since 1948, international and regional instruments have guaranteed this right to all on the basis of the fundamental rights accorded to their enjoyment, and have made it a duty incumbent upon States to provide free legal assistance to their children up to the initial stage, making it available at their rightful stages on the basis of competence and skill.

However, despite all international efforts to ensure the right to education, the world has witnessed disparities in children’s access to education before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Corona health crisis has had a negative impact on the goals and achievements in the field of learning and education, as a result, millions of new children, both in developed and developing countries, have been denied this right, leading States affected by the pandemic to seek solutions to overcome their negative impact in this area.
