| description |
Pakistan was among the first countries
in the world to institute widespread school closures as a
result of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). What are the expected
levels of learning that teachers will have to deal with in
the class? Will children have lost learning while schools
were closed? What should teachers, parents, and children
expect from the first few weeks of schooling? How can
parents, teachers, and the school system as a whole help
children catch up? While school closures have been effective
in supporting efforts at social distancing, they may well
have serious consequences for schooling and learning. This
note presents results from a series of simulations that aim
to capture the impacts that school closures in Pakistan may
have on the learning levels, enrollment, and future earnings
of children and students. In this note, the authors present
an overview of how these numbers are calculated and how to
interpret them. This note draws on a simulation exercise for
all countries on which data is available, including
Pakistan, conducted by researchers at the World Bank. |
