Teachers and students returned to schools in Sierra-Leone months after the start of the Ebola epidemic in the country, which had claimed 3,877 lives last checked.
The World Bank Group (WBG) is helping Sierra Leone, along with Guinea and Liberia, reopen schools and get students learning again, while preventing, in the school system, any further spread of Ebola.
“I hate Ebola because it stopped my schooling,” Mohamed Mansaray, 12, from Rokupa community said in March. “I miss my teachers and playing with my friends.”
Ten-year-old Yama Bundu added, “I like (learning) math, and I’m not happy that we stopped going to school because of the outbreak.”
Entire families have been devastated by the outbreak, through the loss of life and economic hardship. Households must be quarantined for 21 days when any household member comes into contact with a person who has Ebola. This means that parents or other breadwinners in the family have no income during the quarantine period.
