How can we reverse the COVID-19 slide in education?

There is evidence emerging to show that school closures have resulted in actual learning loss – a ‘COVID slide’.

This point was made in a recent blog entitled “Is the COVID-19 slide in education real?” and published on the World Bank website on 8 December, 2020, authored by Robin Donnelly & Harry A. Patrinos.

Three recommendations were made to mitigate this COVID-19 slide: ” … implementing learning recovery programs, protecting education budgets, and preparing for future shocks.”

I recommend this short read for education stakeholders and anyone or any organisation who supports UN SDG4, United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality Education.

Enjoy.
