The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc
upon global learning, with many countries facing severe
school disruptions and closures. An emerging literature
based on household survey data points to the pandemic as
having exacerbated inequalities in education and learning in
countries from Italy to Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the
United States. This brief offers new analysis on the impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning outcomes for six
sub-Saharan African countries. The authors analyze detailed
household level data from several rounds of panel phone
surveys collected by the World Bank in Burkina Faso,
Ethiopia, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, and Uganda. These surveys
were first implemented between late April and early June
2020, after school closures due to the pandemic. In each
survey round, the surveyed households were asked a set of
core questions on topics such as knowledge of COVID and
mitigation measures, access to educational activities during
school closures, dynamics of employment, household income
and livelihood, income loss and coping strategies, and
received assistance.O |
