United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned Tuesday the world faces a “generational catastrophe” because so many schools have been shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has led to the largest disruption of education ever,” the U.N. chief said.

One billion students were left without classrooms when schools were closed in 160 countries across the globe and 40 million children “missed out on education in their critical pre-school year,” he said.
