Abstract
School closures during COVID-19
(coronavirus) led to an unprecedented global experiment in
the delivery of remote learning. This report seeks to assess
what lessons can be drawn from experiences of remote
learning during COVID-19 in K-12 education, with a focus on
low- and middle-income countries. It focuses on the period
from March 2020 to October 2021 and addresses the following
key questions: 1. Was remote learning during COVID-19 taken
up and if so, was it effective That is, did children learn
as much as they did during pre-pandemic, in-person learning
2. What lessons can governments derive from this wide-spread
experience 3. How might policymakers use these lessons to
reimagine learning as schools begin to reopen This report is
part of a larger effort led by the World Bank to provide
guidance and technical assistance to optimize country
effectiveness in the design and execution of remote learning
strategies. It has been developed in conjunction with Remote
Learning During the Global School Lockdown: Multi-Country
Lessons, a qualitative study conducted between May and
November 2020 to understand the perceived effectiveness of
remote and remedial learning solutions implemented across 17 countries.
