This is because <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">only 77 percent of 15-year-old students in Latin American and the Caribbean have access to the internet at home. As a result of dropping out, crime has risen in places such as Columbia, where schools have been closed the longest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The World Bank explains that this lack of education was a pre-existing issue in Latin America, and the pandemic only made things worse. Learning poverty, which is the percentage of 10-year-olds that cannot read and understand a simple text, in Latin America was 51 percent prior to the pandemic.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As of September 2021, the World Bank estimates that number to go up by 20 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, it\u2019s estimated by UNICEF that at least 86 million students all over Latin America remain out of school. On the other hand, there have been successful efforts that have brought 46 million children back into school<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These eff<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">orts include social distancing, wearing masks, and provision of sanitary measures.
