Pandemic makes learning harder for Uganda's refugee children

Season 2020 Episode 253 | 6m 05s

A new report out from UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency, says that at the global height of the pandemic, nearly half a billion children could not access remote learning during lockdowns. Distance education is even harder for hundreds of thousands of children living in dire conditions, such as those at this Ugandan refugee camp. Special correspondent Isabel Nakirya reports from Kampala.
