MANILA, Philippines — Filipino children will continue missing out on learning opportunities as schools remain closed due to COVID-19, the United Nations Children's Fund has warned, as it noted the country is among five nations yet to resume physical classes since the pandemic hit.

 

UNICEF in a statement noted schools across the globe were closed for an average of 79 teaching days in 2020. But it said institutions in the Philippines have been shut for more than a year now. 

 

Other countries that have yet to decide to reopen schools are Bangladesh, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, UNICEF said.
