At the April 2020 peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, school and university closures affected over 1.6 billion learners (about 94% of the world's student population) in more than 190 countries; on average roughly two-thirds of an academic year was lost worldwide, and more than 400 million learners could not access any distance learning.
Recorded event summary.
At the April 2020 peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, school and university closures affected over 1.6 billion learners (about 94% of the world's student population) in more than 190 countries; on average roughly two-thirds of an academic year was lost worldwide, and more than 400 million learners could not access any distance learning.
The closures forced a rapid global scale-up of remote/online learning, sharply raising the salience and intensity of the digital-learning-access driver (while exposing deep access gaps).
Prolonged closures and emergency remote teaching strained the teaching workforce and disrupted effective instruction, weakening realized teaching quality during the period.
