"Ebola is threatening to reverse years of educational progress in West Africa. The virus has kept school closed for months in a part of the world where literacy rates are low and school systems are only now recovering from years of civil war.
In Liberia, many children have been put to work while schools are closed, and Ebola is hurting the economy, says
Laurent Duvillier, a communication specialist at UNICEF. The fear now, he says, is that many of these children will never return to school."
