Field Studies Loss of Learning During the Pandemic (extract)
Studies across the world have clearly indicated that school closures have significant negative impact on learning levels of children, with children from disadvantaged backgrounds being affected more severely. The loss of learning is not simply the curricular learning that children would have acquired if schools had remained open. It includes the ability that children have forgotten due to lack of usage, for example the ability to read with understanding, the ability to write, and the ability to perform basic mathematical operations like addition and multiplication. This regression further compromises new learning since these abilities are foundational to all further learning. This situation must be juxtaposed with the fact that we are already facing a crisis in learning, particularly with respect to foundational literacy and numeracy. At this time of writing this report, schools have been closed for almost an entire academic year. A child who was in class 1 in March 2020 will move to class 3 in 2021 without having engaged with the curriculum of class 2, except through sporadic online or community-based engagements. Thus, the loss of learning during the pandemic comprises the 'forgetting/regression' of a proportion of abilities children already knew, including the loss of foundational abilities that make it possible for children to take up further learning, and the absence of curricular learning for an entire academic year. Examples of foundational abilities would be the ability to read numbers up to 99 in class 2 that forms the basis of performing more complex mathematical operations in higher classes. Similarly, for children in class 2, the ability to respond to comprehension questions based on a story forms the basis for acquiring higher order abilities related to reading and writing. The absence of any one of these foundational abilities manifests not only in the inability to acquire more complex abilities, but also in a disconnect from learning, peers and schooling, often causing children to drop out of school altogether.
