From learning recovery to education transformation: insights and reflections from the 4th Survey on National Education Responses to COVID-19 School Closures

This report presents findings from the fourth round of the Survey on National Education Responses to COVID-19 School Closures, administered between April–July 2022 with responses from Ministries of Education in 93 countries. It explores how countries are progressing in the RAPID actions to recover learning: Reach every child and keep them in school; Assess learning levels regularly; Prioritize teaching the fundamentals; Increase the efficiency of instruction; and Develop psychosocial health and wellbeing. Given the magnitude of the challenge, learning recovery must be transformational to be effective and sustainable. The report therefore also offers longer-term policy directions and measures towards education transformation.
