Education is of subjective importance and is often described as a “doubled” right, as the degree of access to education affects the level of enjoyment of other human rights.

Many countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic have chosen to complete the rest of the school year by providing distance learning to ensure the completion of educational programs and to motivate students to study and save them from the clutches of digital and other games.

71% of elementary school students and 49% of middle and high school students do not have the computer equipment necessary for this process.
73% of primary school students and 40% of middle and high school students do not have Internet at home. “
