Table 2.

Summary of modelled outcomes of Covid-19 learning loss shocks and mitigation scenarios.

Grade 10 average cohort learning (PISA-like scale) Equivalent years of learning ahead/behind of counterfactual in grade 10 Percent of in-school children in grade 10 learning zero Percent of grade 10 cohort above PISA 400 (achieving minimum proficiency) Percent of grade 10 cohort below PISA 200 (very low learners)
Counterfactual – no shock 213 N/A 43 % 7% 51 %
Shock reduces grade 3 learning by 1/3 175 −1.04 72% 3% 65 %
Shock reduces grade 3 learning by 1/2 157 −1.55 82% 2% 73 %
Shock reduces grade 3 learning by 1/3 + remediation 193 −0.55 61% 4% 58 %
Shock reduces grade 3 learning by 1/3 + remediation + instruction reorientation 259 1.27 16% 27 % 36 %
