'One complete academic year has elapsed in this manner, with almost no or little curricular learning in the current class. But this is only one kind of loss of learning.
Equally alarming is the widespread phenomenon of ‘forgetting’ by students of learning from the previous class – this is regression in their curricular learning'.
'This study, undertaken in January 2021, reveals the extent and nature of the ‘forgetting/regression’ kind of learning loss (i.e. what was learnt earlier but has now been lost) among children in public schools across primary classes because of school closure during the COVID-19 pandemic'.
Key findings:
- 92% of children on an average have lost at least one specific language ability from the previous year across all classes.
- 82% of children on an average have lost at least one specific mathematical ability from the previous year across all classes.
'Studies across the world have clearly indicated that school closures have significant negative impact on learning levels of children, with children from disadvantaged backgrounds being affected more severely'.
