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 % |
