These remarks were delivered by World
Bank Group President David Malpass at The State of Global
Learning Poverty 2022 Update Report Launch on June 28, 2022.
He said that the COVID-related school closures and
disruptions have deepened the learning crisis and worsened
inequalities in education. He highlighted that the World
Bank estimates that the share of 10-year-old children in
developing countries who are unable to read and understand a
basic text is now at 70 percent. He insisted that it’s
urgent for political leaders to act decisively to recover
and accelerate learning and avoid a human capital
catastrophe. He suggested that they can do that by
prioritizing four learning recovery strategies and
investments: First, re-enroll and retain children in school;
Second, focus on foundational learning; Third, assess
students’ learning levels; and Fourth, support teachers with
the practical training and learning materials that are
proven to help students recover lost learning rapidly. He
mentioned that the World Bank is committed to working with
partners in support of countries to achieve more equal,
effective, and resilient education, particularly for girls.
He concluded by saying that it’s critical that children and
youth of this generation have the opportunity to shape the
future they deserve. |
