Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi stated that another lockdown is not in view in Tunisia - in spite of a climb in coronavirus infections. International flights resumed on 27 June and students have been back in class since last week, after a six-month hiatus. For this 13-year-old teenager, it will not be easy to catch up.

Haider Dridi, a 13-year-old student, expresses his concerns, \"I'm worried because in seventh grade we didn't study well and I didn't understand well and that's why I'm worried that I don't understand anything. In seventh grade, we didn't study in the third term, which is important.\"

Maherzia Dridi, Haider Dridi's mother is also a little worried about how her son might cope upon going back to school, \"The children got used to the rhythm, staying up late and the tablets. We hope that teachers will be up to speed and will be able to bring them back to the school rhythm and that they will all be okay.

Between schools being shut down and limited internet access, the Covid-19 pandemic has harmed educational systems around the globe. And child psychiatrist, Mariam Boudali, believes school goes beyond academics, \"School does not only have an academic role. It is also a place where you learn about social life. Of course, children learn to read and write but they also learn to integrate themselves with their peers, to play and live in a mini-society that is their class. So, indeed, lockdown in general and not going to school can upset not only the child's learning but I would even say well-being and life.\"

At the height of the lockdown, 1.5 billion children were affected by school closures, which UNICEF described as \"a global education emergency\" and the economic impact has been felt worldwide.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach is happy to be back in the swing of things as he prepares for the proposed tour of England starting next month.

The most experienced and successful West Indies Test bowler in the last decade has his eyes on the magical figure of 200 Test wickets once the green light is given for the tour to happen.

To beat England in England would be something special for us as players and for West Indies cricket,” Roach said.

We beat them last time they were here in the West Indies last year and we have many of the same players who were in that team last year.”

“The Man of the Series performance last year against England was the high point of my career and we won the series as well, which was something extra special for the people of the West Indies and those fans all around the world who support us,” Roach said.

Other players are expected resume training later this week as Cricket West Indies (CWI) continues dialogue with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on the proposed tour which is expected to feature three Test matches.

If the tour has to take place, by the start of June we would need to have the board approval and support by then in order to get the charter flight logistics in place and select the players.
