Covid-19, Sierra Leone, female education, economic impact.Abstract
As the epidemic spreads worldwide, its impact on all aspects of the world has slowly emerged. Its impact on the economy, education and gender equality is more pronounced. This paper uses Sierra Leone as an example to assess the impact of Covid -19 on the economy and education, especially on girls who already face existing education gaps. It suggests some possible strategies to address girls' education in phases during and after the pandemic problems and analyses potential challenges. As a sub-Saharan African country, Sierra Leone has always been a seriously underdeveloped area that has attracted much attention. Taking this as a research example will help to infer the possible epidemic situation in other less developed countries.
