Tiivistelmä
This research paper examines the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on girls' education in Malawi. It provides a detailed analysis of the various factors that were exacerbated due to the pandemic, such as the digital divide, teenage pregnancies, early marriages, and child labour, which all play a role in negatively impacting girls' access to education. The study also considers the need to invest in quality education in emergencies, especially for girls and young women in order to ameliorate their educational opportunities and experiences. Through interviews, the paper examines the struggles that girls face in Malawi regarding
education and how the pandemic has made it worse. The paper concludes that it is essential to invest heavily in digital inclusion and mental health services to ensure that girls are given quality access to education as their male counterparts.
