Children across the world have lost an average of 74 days of education or more than a third of the standard global 190-day school year each due to COVID-19-related school closures and lack of access to remote learning, a report by Save the Children revealed on Tuesday. In total, an estimated 112 billion days of education have been lost altogether, with the world's poorest children being disproportionately affected, it said.
