| Summary: | LAC has endured one of the longest
spells of school closures. The region was hit
disproportionately hard in health, economic, and educational
terms. In the region, an entire generation of students –
approximately 170 million – were fully deprived of in-person
education for roughly 1 out of 2 effective school days to
date. The effects of the pandemic on the education sector of
the region have been severe. The incipient recovery must
focus on returning to schooling and, especially, recovering
and accelerating learning. In a nutshell, this agenda
entails the urgent and comprehensive implementation of four
commitments: (i) A commitment to place the education
recovery at the top of the public agenda; (ii) A commitment
to reintegrate all the children that abandoned school and
ensure they stay in it; (iii) A commitment to recover lost
learning and ensure the socio-emotional well-being of
children; (iv) A commitment to value, support and train teachers. |
