World. Through. Onal just every generation has a higher purpose. Ours is to help. My. Pocket back here watching aljazeera time to recap our headlines now hundreds of military personnel are being deployed to this training and state of victoria to help and force coronavirus isolation orders anyone found breaching the rules will be fined 3 and a half 1000. 00 president down trump has publicly rebuked the head of the White House Coronavirus task force he said deborah berg said hurt his administration was after she said the rapid spread of covert 19 virus in the u. S. Was a new phase in the pandemic. Flooding and landslides in south korea have killed at least 13 people president moon j. N. Is called an emergency meeting and says rescue teams will do all they can to prevent further loss of life. The u. N. Secretary general is warning of a generational catastrophe as Education Systems worldwide go through their worst disruption in history because of the pandemic and turnover tariff says it could undermine decades of progress we already faced the learning crisis before the pandemic more than 250000000 School Age Children were out of school and only a quarter of secondary School Children in the European Countries were leaving school with basic skills now we face a generational no get a stuffy that would waste and told Human Potential and their mind decades of progress and exacerbate entrenched inequalities. Of the outbreak has affected nearly 1600000000 students across more than 190 countries at least 40000000 children have missed their preschool year because of restrictions imposed by governments more than 250000000 children were out of school before the pandemic now the u. N. Is warning nearly 24000000 the more could drop out or lose access to education before countries reopen schools the u. N. Says its important to control the transmission of the virus supply Adequate Funding and reach students worse off lets bring in Anthony Welsh hes a professor of education at the university of sydney in australia good to have you with us so when you have a number of scary as 24000000 children dropping out of losing access to education what does that mean for a host of other age developmental issues not just education. Well i think the point here is to recognise that education has profound implications lifelong so tens if not hundreds of millions of children out of school significant numbers of whom may never return thats going to affect their lifelong opportunities. Particularly in terms of work and earnings and that takes us to my next point which is how much do we know how many of those 24000000 will ever find their way back into a classroom again. Well this is a developing catastrophe we dont date her. But i think. Its important to recognize that the impact will be gracious on the groups who are already marginal poor rural and remote families and. Young girls and women. And refugees so unfortunately it will have the effect of exacerbating inequalities in education which are really significant and in turn one assumes than exacerbating inequalities in life in general wealth inequality is inequality developmental inequalities and so on are we looking at a future world of more extremes not less it could be because the impact of this i think the Health Impact which is forcing tens of millions of children out of school its also the fact that the pandemic is battering economies around the world so it means that. National systems will have. Less overall in terms of their National Budgets to invest in education while at the same time the wealthiest countries the o. E. C. D. Member states will be looking very carefully at their aid budgets because their National Budgets have also been batted so its very possible that. Aid to developing countries particularly in this case for education may well decline for some years no one can be done the uns talking about things like more attention to bridge the funding gaps containment of the virus what can be specifically be done to try and stop this becoming an education tsunami if i can call it that. I think. The impact and what can be done about it will be highly differential. So for the wealthiest countries they have already have moved online and have. Strong capacity to. Use online facilities to teachers and programs online thats not the case in much of the developing world where capacity is limited teachers dont necessarily have training. Including to cook curriculum online. And the information the i. T. Networks are not as strong or as well developed so the impact is going to be quite differential across the world and as i said again well have. Deal impact on those groups that are already marginal so i think the recovery. Will also be quite differential and developing countries are going to need most help at the very time when aid budgets increasingly at risk are i thank you so much for your thoughts and analysis on that and the welsh there now the iranian capital tehran is becoming one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in high inflation stagnant wages and rising house prices pushing many into poverty u. S. Sanctions and Government Policies are being blamed that said biographer was from to hand. With a population of 8600000. 00 people that iran has more residents per square kilometer than london and istanbul but irans capital is facing a housing crisis. Asking about prices theyve gone up peoples purchasing power is reduced rents also hiked people are stuck in the middle they cant pay these friends there is pressure on them a worker whose salary is 470. 00 cannot pay 420. 00 for rent. Small apartments type keypad together and old homes standing next to new developments yet even in this neighborhood the cheapest into her own people are moving out because they cant afford the prices life here is in sharp contrast to that in the north of the city gated communities expensive cause and luxury apartments but even here the affluent say they are feeling the pinch. The u. S. Dollar has a great impact most of the Construction Projects in this area he was foreign material and when the dollar goes up property prices are multiplying. The country is facing record levels of inflation stagnant wages and its currency is losing its value rents in this part of the front can cost anything from 2000 to 10000. 00 a month prices out of reach for most iranians people are looking to the government for more Affordable Housing and its important that the government delivers because its the working class here that make up the core support for the political establishment and with difficult times ahead the last thing you rein in authorities want is people voicing their discontent on the streets but many say the government hasnt delivered Affordable Housing projects like this have stalled in recent years and fallen short of the target of 900000 Housing Units needed to be built every year. When it comes to the real estate sector president can face weve had shortcomings in our government unfortunately some of our housing policies were in templeman said his words are of no comfort to those struggling to pay rent. I work in a lab and earn 700. 00 per month but i have to be totally to rent my husband works too but were under pressure. I rented a flat 2 to 3 years ago because of high rents now i have to live in Social Security benefits and stay at a shelter for homeless women not all the problems can be blamed on the government u. S. Sanctions mean state revenues have dropped theres less money available for projects including housing and initiatives have been launched to change things a proposed tax on empty properties and a 25 percent cap on increasing grain prices right now its not certain any government policy will work to bring down costs and the one remains a city with more demand for housing than supply said big aljazeera.
