At the same time, only one-third of countries are taking steps to measure learning losses in primary and lower second levels, mostly among high-income countries, the survey report stated.

NEW DELHI: One in three countries where schools were or are still closed due to the Covid pandemic have not yet implemented remedial programmes to mitigate learning loss, according to a survey.

The "Survey on National Education Responses to COVID-19 School Closures" was conducted by UNESCO, UNICEF, World Bank and OECD.

At the same time, only one-third of countries are taking steps to measure learning losses in primary and lower second levels, mostly among high-income countries, the survey report stated.

According to it, fewer than a third of low-and middle-income countries reported that all students had returned to in-person schooling, which indicates heightening risk of learning loss and drop-out.

However, majority of countries reported using at least one form of outreach to encourage students to return to school.

These included community engagement, school-based tracking, modification to water, sanitation and hygiene services, financial incentives and review of access policies, the report stated.

"Remedial instruction is vital to help those children who have missed out on school to get back on track and reduce long-term learning losses," global director for education at the World Bank, Jaime Saavedra, said.
