In rural areas and urban slums, at least 22 percent of primary and 30 percent of secondary students are currently at risk of being deprived of education due to school closure. The crisis triggered by the pandemic – a consequence of a long, nationwide school closure – has worsened considerably in the past six months. The Power and Participation Research Centre (PPRC) and BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD) jointly conducted the survey as part of a larger and multi-phase study on Covid-19 livelihoods and recovery panel survey.
