An international report<\/a> said learning poverty affects a staggering 89% of children in Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

Although the rise in learning<\/a> poverty was smaller in comparison with other regions because school closures were usually brief. But even here, COVID-19 had disastrous consequences, according to the report from leading world bodies, including the World Bank and UNESCO.<\/p>\n

UNICEF, the UK government\u2019s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), USAID and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation joined the World Bank and UNESCO in publishing the report.<\/p>\n

All regions saw rises in learning poverty, but Latin America and the Caribbean were the worst affected, the report shows. In these areas, an estimated 80% of children are unable to understand a simple written text by the time they leave primary school. That\u2019s up from around 50% before the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The next largest increase was seen in South Asia, where the report’s authors say 78% of children are now likely to fail the same basic literacy test (compared with 60% pre-pandemic).<\/p>\n

The report said 70% of 10-year-olds in low- and middle-income countries are now unable to read and understand a simple written text \u2013 the measure of learning poverty.<\/p>\n

That could mean the generation of students whose schooling was hit by COVID-19 stand to lose a massive $21 trillion in lifetime earnings \u2013 more than earlier estimates and amounting to 17% of today\u2019s global GDP.<\/p>\n

The research comes from international agencies that have pledged to work together to confront what they describe as the \u201cworst shock to education and learning in recorded history\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t let children\u2019s learning become yet another casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d said UNICEF Global Director of Education Robert Jenkins.<\/p>\n

National coalitions for learning recovery – including governments, families, educators and businesses – will be needed, said the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not enough for children to return to school. The curriculum and teaching must adjust to meet students\u2019 learning needs.\u201d Countries urgently need to focus on the most cost-effective ways to counter learning poverty, said the World Bank.<\/p>\n
