| description |
This brief summarizes the results of
simulations estimating the potential impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic in learning poverty. Of 720 million primary school
age children, 382 million are learning poor, either out of
school or below the minimum proficiency level in reading.
COVID-19 could boost that number by an additional 72 million
to 454 million. In a post-COVID-19 scenario of no
remediation and low mitigation effectiveness for the effects
of school closures, simulations show learning poverty
increasing from 53 percent of primary-school-age children to
63 percent. |
