Resumen
Descripción
School closures due to Coronavirus
(COVID-19) have disrupted education in Brazil. Before this
crisis, forty-two percent of children in Brazil were
learning poor. This note simulates the impacts on learning
poverty, considering different lengths of school closure. In
our intermediate scenario, where schools remain closed for
one quarter of the academic year, learning poverty rises 2.6
to 5.2 percentage points.
