Lockdowns and Homeschooling: A Guide for African Parents

  • Many children now at home have no learning materials, as their books, textbooks, and other aids remain locked in classrooms.
  • Movement restrictions have made it difficult to hire private tutors, and many parents and caregivers have no experience teaching or assessing learning at home.
