EDUCATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP DURING THIS CRISIS
Many people spend their time fighting the virus. That's fine, but I'm aware of something more serious than the virus. If we take the case of the rising illiteracy rate due to closed schools in third-world countries, the unemployment rate that is raging ... We can have a preview of what the future may be like. Which makes me conclude that many people can survive the virus and die of starvation tomorrow. Many people may succeed crossing to the other side just to experience another social catastrophe due to lack of education and financial capacity.

I believe that the goal should not only be to survive the crisis, but also to advance and succeed after the crisis.
AND THE BEST WAY YOU CAN DO THIS IS TO CONTINUE EDUCATING YOURSELF WHILE YOU KEEPING YOURSELFSAFE. Continue to plan and study while in quarantine.
If your school closed for the whole year, you do not have to repeat the class next year because you can work from home, take classes and read on Google and many other online platforms. If you are in college, you can still advance with your studies online and learning many other skills or mastering a foreign language, or a technical skill that can make be profitable to you after or during this crisis.

The best thing to do right now is to learn the notion of Entrepreneurship and Leadership. Why? According to economic analysis, the world will take many years to recover and be back on its feet after the crisis. This economic strike given by the virus to the world is leaving a disability for thousands of enterprises and entrepreneurs and every economic system in each country.
Speaking of third-world countries, which were already a struggling, (even dying) economically, where many businesses have already closed their doors due to protests and insecurities, we can understand how the damage can double in those societies, with no need to talk about the impact on education and social development that have already been ruined.

The social and economic consequences of this virus, when you look closely, are more important than the virus itself. I advise young people and parents of children to take education seriously because the next generation, if they do nothing, will have no legacy other than what they recreate, rebuild or restore.

With that being said, entrepreneurship becomes the only pillar that can stand the brunt of the oncoming poverty.
We can all understand the importance of entrepreneurship in how it helps us understand how we USE PROBLEMS TO CREATE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS TO MAKE SOLUTIONS FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. Another key learning should be LEADERSHIP. We understand its importance also in how IT HELPS PEOPLE RISE ABOVE PROBLEMS TO OVERCOME THE WORST WITH DIGNITY AND DETERMINATION OF LEADING A PATH WORTH FOLLOWING FOR MANY.

Those two words should constitute the key learning for young people in quarantine for they are the next generation that'll have to deal with the aftermath from this virus. And those "words" are going to be the key components of anyone who wants to survive their own survival after surviving the Coronavirus lockdown.

EDUCATION is without any doubt, the key breath of the future. It's important that closed school don't stop our EDUCATIONAL POWER and our learning skills from evolving. It's more than ever needed that our parents and young people make a step to bring EDUCATION pass those four walls and beyond teachers and principals. The future will be the greatest challenge of all time for it'll be needing leaders it didn't build, fighters it didn't train, decision makers it didn't educate... With brain and motives to stand staunch against the threat against our civilization and the world as we know it, we can apply our power, gained during QUARANTINE to rebuild a future better than the past we mourned and missed.
