Some already done programs to solve this issue:
UNICEF
In Syria, where a decade of violence compounded COVID-19's assault on education, programs implemented by UNICEF with support from partners like Educate A Child are reaching tens of thousands more students in need every year. UNICEF provides workbooks covering core subjects (Arabic, English, mathematics and science) they are now using to keep up with their studies at home or at a community center
UNICEF and Microsoft's Learning Passport was adapted to offer lessons in sign language, COVID-19–prevention teacher training and resources on gender equality, sexuality education and violence against women and girls
In Africa with the help of UNICEF there has been progress in education that Africa has made over the past decade. However, unless African governments and the international community work together and act now to raise standards and improve learning outcomes, the potential of tens of millions of African youth will be wasted and Africa’s social and economic progress will stagnate.
How bad is it?
2018: More than half of children and adolescents in africa are not meeting minimum proficiency standards in reading and mathematics
2017: Despite the considerable progress on education access and participation over the past years, 262 million children and youth aged 6 to 17 were still out of school in 2017
2019: millions of children and young people were still out of school, and more than half of those in school were not meeting minimum proficiency standards in reading and numeracy
The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a global education crisis. School closures brought by the pandemic have had devastating consequences for children’s learning and wellbeing. It is estimated that 147 million children missed more than half of their in-class instruction over the past two years. This generation of children could lose a combined total of $17 trillion in lifetime earnings in present value.
Will it get any worse?
Even with a substantial increase in the number of children with access to basic education, a large number still remain out of school.
Education has expanded dramatically in Sub-Saharan Africa over the past half century. From 1970 to 2010, the percentage of children across the region who complete primary school rose by almost 50% (from 46% of children to 68%).

most of Africa's education and training programs suffer from low-quality teaching and learning, as well as inequalities and exclusion at all levels. Even with a substantial increase in the number of children with access to basic education, a large number still remain out of school.
