Note: The total weeks open reflect only those weeks in which all schools across the country were fully open. They do not include partial closings.
School closures have varied widely from region to region. Children in North America have had the least in-person education: on average schools have been fully open for just 8 percent of the last 12 months Figure 2. But regional averages hide big differences between countries: in Burundi, schools have remained open throughout the pandemic, while in neighbouring Rwanda, children have had just six weeks of schooling this year.
Figure 2. Average percentage of school-based education missed in the last 12 months. Note: This figure was generated by dividing the total weeks schools were fully open in a country in the last 12 months by the number of weeks of schooling in a normal academic year excluding academic breaks and subtracting from one. The total schooling that youth are expected to attain in the absence of COVID varies widely, from more than 13 years in many high income countries to less than 5 years in some low-income countries.
Countries where children have already missed out on large proportions of their total expected education are also some of the same countries where large attainment gaps remain between boys and girls. Figure 3. Average percentage of total lifetime schooling missed during the last 12 months. Note: This figure was generated by dividing the percentage of schooling missed excluding partially open by the expected years of schooling. As always, averages mask inequalities. While almost every child will have been affected by the pandemic, the poorest children in the poorest countries have missed out on huge proportions of their education.
In Chad, for example, the most recent data we could find from the Demographic and Health Survey , shows that women and men from the poorest quintile were nearly 80 percent more likely to have no education than those from the richest quintile.
In Burkina Faso , from the same survey , the poorest women were more than twice as likely to have no education than the richest women. Losing one year of education out of the few that a child would likely complete is particularly troubling.
Since the first schools closed their doors, social scientists have been scrambling to estimate access to distance learning and to project the impact on school dropout, learning, and future earnings, as well as to evaluate the impact of interventions to reduce learning loss. Beyond a better picture of the access to distance education , a year later we still know relatively little about actual impacts in low- and middle-income countries.
In the Netherlands , primary school students performed markedly worse on standard tests of math and language relative to students in previous years, suggesting they learned about 80 percent as much as students in previous years. School closures do not necessarily reflect the number of school buildings that have been closed, since a school may share a building with another school, or one school may have multiple buildings.
NOTE: This table indicates the school year by which the school no longer operated generally it closed between that school year and the prior school year. The closure of a school does not necessarily mean that a building is no longer used for educational purposes. A single school may share a building with another school, or one school may be housed in several buildings. Other Resources: Listed by Release Date. It should now. Making preparations to avoid confusion during any emergency—including a pandemic—is critical, says Mike Raisor, the former COO for Jefferson County Public Schools, whose plan was designed to get the district up and running within 12 hours.
