The learning crisis triggered by the pandemic—a consequence of a long, nationwide school closure—has worsened considerably in the past six months. Findings from a recent national survey in rural areas and urban slums show that at least 22% of primary and 30% of secondary students are currently at risk of learning loss due to school closure. The survey is part of a larger, multi-phase study by Power and Participation Research Centre (PPRC) and BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD): COVID-19 Livelihoods and Recovery Panel Survey.
