Zena Khalid, 13, is enjoying a novelty being back at her newly-renovated school in Mosul, Iraq.
The Al-Haj Secondary School for Girls is open again after being closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been a challenging time for the girls and their teachers as they coped with continuing their learning and the lack of social interaction. Zena has missed her friends and her teachers and is excited to be back.
“Studying remotely was difficult to understand. Now that we are back at school, I can ask questions and understand my subjects better,” she says.
