COVID-19: Are children able to continue learning during school closures? UNICEF, 2020

This factsheet aims to help answer the question “How many students attending school prior to COVID-19 were able to continue to learn during school closures?”

Using data from the UNESCO-UNICEF-World Bank Survey on National Education Responses to COVID-19 School Closures (June-July 2020), as well as household microdata from sources like Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and others, this factsheet estimates the potential reach of these remote learning policies, with a focus on broadcast-based (radio and television) and internet-based approaches.
