Around 75 million school-age children in crisis areas around the world are in dire need of educational support, the BBC said citing a new report by UNICEF.
The report said that one in four children aged between three and 18 live in countries affected by crises such as wars and disasters.
According to the relief organization, children from the poorest communities who miss school for more than a year are likely to never return.
"During crises, children are particularly at risk of missing out on their education, yet schools provide a safe space and a vital routine for children during times of major upheaval," the report says.
