UNESCO is providing immediate support to countries, including solutions for inclusive distance learning.. "We are working with countries to assure the continuity of learning for all, especially disadvantaged children and youth who tend to be the hardest hit by school closures," said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay..
