As fretful Canadian parents mull sending their children to school or opting for at-home learning, poorer countries are coming to grips with no school at all as the only option.

Lebanon has become one of the latest countries to join those ranks as the fallout from the massive Aug. 4 port explosion in Beirut will keep tens of thousands of children out of classrooms because their schools were levelled or severely damaged.

That is threatening to set back two decades' worth of progress in elevating the lives of women and girls in underdeveloped countries unless richer countries invest more in development spending, he said. "Girls and boys across Canada are heading back to school, but millions of children in the world's toughest places may never go back, including up to one million girls across sub-Saharan Africa," said Michael Messenger, president of World Vision Canada.

The survey also found that girls were disproportionately affected, with 63 per cent saying they did more work around house, compared with 43 per cent of boys.
