There is a loss of learning for all students due to school disruptions

The lowest performing children fall further behind while the well-performing
children move ahead – this is predicted based on the ability of the families to support
children in keeping up with reading and writing and access to assets such as
televisions and a good internet or cable connection
 There is a sudden and large increase in numbers of children for whom learning
falls because of an increase in numbers of drop outs
• Goals Of government schools while
covid-19
Children return to schools
Instruction takes account of potential learning losses during time away from schools
