In Zimbabwe, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the closing down of all primary and secondary schools before the end of March 2020. Many remained closed for over six months, with some only reopening in November. In some communities, over two-thirds of girls reported to have dropped out in late 2020 when schools reopened due to early and unintended pregnancy or marriage.
