What Do We Know from India That Can Help Us Think Forward in the COVID-19 Crisis?
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a sudden and prolonged closure of schools globally. While it was well known that there was a 바카라 사이트渓earning crisis바카라 사이트� for elementary school children, at least in countries of sub-Saharan Africa and in South Asia, the COVID-19 related school closures have deepened concern that 바카라 사이트渓earning loss바카라 사이트� is inevitable and likely to be substantial. Much of the existing research on 바카라 사이트渓earning loss바카라 사이트� is connected to what children lose in summer holidays. This literature is largely from the United States and other western countries. There are also analyses of the long run impact of disasters on children바카라 사이트檚 learning levels in developing countries (for example, the recent Andrabi et al RISE Working Paper on the aftermath of the Pakistan earthquake is a good example of such work).
In India, as well as globally, there is widespread concern that economic hardships faced by families will have consequences for children바카라 사이트檚 schooling in terms of disruption and discontinuities. In addition, the worry about 바카라 사이트渓earning loss바카라 사이트� is shared by households, communities, and governments. The fact that basic learning levels were worryingly low before the COVID crisis and that further 바카라 사이트渓earning loss바카라 사이트� may be significant adds to the deepening concern about an already inequitable situation widening divides: disadvantaged children suffering further disadvantage. As we look forward to reopening schools and to start planning for what to do immediately after schools open, many questions come to mind: Is there data about 바카라 사이트渓earning loss바카라 사이트� and 바카라 사이트渓earning gain바카라 사이트� available for India that can guide our planning?
This research is part of the 바카라 사이트楻esearch on Improving Systems of Education바카라 사이트� programme
