Coronavirus Philippines: How is home learning affecting children?

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus Philippines: How is home learning affecting children?

Children in the Philippines are heading into their second year of remote learning

In the Philippines, millions of children are facing a second year of remote schooling, and because of strict lockdown rules children are not allowed out of their homes either. Three parents talk about the impact of home-schooling and the restrictions on their children’s learning and wellbeing.

Epidemiologist Dr Emma Hodcroft from the University of Bern is our coronavirus expert who will answer your latest questions about the pandemic. 

We'll hear from Kenya where petrol prices have hit their highest peak ever.

And we’ll explain the new security pact in the Asia-Pacific by the UK, US and Australia.

We'll also look at a court ruling in Indonesia that has found that president Joko Widodo and his cabinet have been negligent in tackling air pollution in the capital Jakarta. We'll hear from people in Jakarta affected by bad air quality.
