(ANSA) - DHAKA, SEPTEMBER 12 - Bangladesh reopened schools today after a forced break of 18 months due to coronavirus: the decision of the authorities in Dhaka follows the recent warning from UNICEF that the prolonged closure of schools is increasing inequalities for millions of children throughout South Asia. The situation in Bangladesh, one of the countries where schools have been closed the longest, was particularly at risk since - as the association of national telecommunications operators recalled - only 41% of the 169 million inhabitants of the country own a smartphone. Which means that millions of children have not been able to attend classes online and even with smartphones, distance learning was impossible for many of them due to the lack of broadband in the rural areas.(HANDLE).
