As of Template:Education statistics on the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic, approximately Template:Education statistics on the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic learners are currently affected due to school closures in response to the pandemic. According to UNICEF monitoring, Template:Education statistics on the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic countries are currently implementing nationwide closures and Template:Education statistics on the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic are implementing local closures, impacting about Template:Education statistics on the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic percent of the world's student population.Template:Education statistics on the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic On 23 March 2020, Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) released a statement announcing the cancellation of Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level, Cambridge International AS & A Level, Cambridge AICE Diploma, and Cambridge Pre-U examinations for the May/June 2020 series across all countries.[1] International Baccalaureate exams have also been cancelled.[2] In addition, Advanced Placement Exams, SAT administrations, and ACT administrations have been moved online and canceled.

School closures impact not only students, teachers, and families [3], but have far-reaching economic and societal consequences.[4][5] School closures in response to COVID-19 have shed light on various social and economic issues, including student debt,[6] digital learning,[7][8] food insecurity,[9] and homelessness,[10][11] as well as access to childcare,[12] health care,[13] housing,[14] internet,[15] and disability services.[16] The impact was more severe for disadvantaged children and their families, causing interrupted learning, compromised nutrition, childcare problems, and consequent economic cost to families who could not work.[17][18]

In response to school closures, UNESCO recommended the use of distance learning programmes and open educational applications and platforms that schools and teachers can use to reach learners remotely and limit the disruption of education.[19]

Background

Efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19 through non-pharmaceutical interventions and preventive measures such as social-distancing and self-isolation have prompted the widespread closure of primary, secondary, and tertiary schooling in over 100 countries.[20]

Previous outbreaks of infectious diseases have prompted widespread school closings around the world, with varying levels of effectiveness.[21][22][23] Mathematical modelling has shown that transmission of an outbreak may be delayed by closing schools. However, effectiveness depends on the contacts children maintain outside of school.[24][25] School closures may be effective when enacted promptly. If school closures occur late relative to an outbreak, they are less effective and may not have any impact at all.[21][22] Additionally, in some cases, the reopening of schools after a period of closure has resulted in increased infection rates.[26] As closures tend to occur concurrently with other interventions such as public gathering bans, it can be difficult to measure the specific impact of school closures.[26]

During the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic in the United States, school closures and public gathering bans were associated with lower total mortality rates.[22] Cities that implemented such interventions earlier had greater delays in reaching peak mortality rates.[27][26] Schools closed for a median duration of 4 weeks according to a study of 43 US cities' response to the Spanish Flu.[27] School closures were shown to reduce morbidity from the Asian flu by 90% during the 1957–58 outbreak,[28] and up to 50% in controlling influenza in the US, 2004–2008.[29]

Multiple countries successfully slowed the spread of infection through school closures during the 2009 H1N1 Flu pandemic. School closures in the city of Oita, Japan, were found to have successfully decreased the number of infected students at the peak of infection; however closing schools was not found to have significantly decreased the total number of infected students.[30] Mandatory school closures and other social distancing measures were associated with a 29% to 37% reduction in influenza transmission rates.[31] Early school closures in the United States delayed the peak of the 2009 H1N1 Flu pandemic.[21] Despite the overall success of closing schools, a study of school closures in Michigan found that "district level reactive school closures were ineffective."[32]

During the swine flu outbreak in 2009 in the UK, in an article titled "Closure of schools during an influenza pandemic" published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases, a group of epidemiologists endorsed the closure of schools in order to interrupt the course of the infection, slow further spread and buy time to research and produce a vaccine.[33] Having studied previous influenza pandemics including the 1918 flu pandemic, the influenza pandemic of 1957 and the 1968 flu pandemic, they reported on the economic and workforce effect school closure would have, particularly with a large percentage of doctors and nurses being women, of whom half had children under the age of 16. They also looked at the dynamics of the spread of influenza in France during French school holidays and noted that cases of flu dropped when schools closed and re-emerged when they re-opened. They noted that when teachers in Israel went on strike during the flu season of 1999–2000, visits to doctors and the number of respiratory infections dropped by more than a fifth and more than two fifths respectively.[34]

For schools and childcare facilities, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends short-term closure to clean or disinfect if an infected person has been in a school building regardless of community spread. When there is minimal to moderate community transmission, social distancing strategies can be implemented such as cancelling field trips, assemblies, and other large gatherings such as physical education or choir classes or meals in a cafeteria, increasing the space between desks, staggering arrival and dismissal times, limiting nonessential visitors, and using a separate health office location for children with flu-like symptoms. When there is substantial transmission in the local community, in addition to social distancing strategies, extended school dismissals may be considered.[35]

Brazil As of 16 March, Brazil has more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other Latin American country, however President Jair Bolsonaro has issued few country-wide measures to slow the spread of the virus.[88][52] Because the president and federal government failed to act regarding the pandemic and had, as of 18 March, not decided to cancel classes in the whole country, lower instances of government acted autonomously. State schools, municipal schools, private institutions and universities acted differently regarding suspending classes at once, gradually or not at all, and between replacing classes with distance education or simply postponing them. Because of that, there are only "localised" (as opposed to "national") school closures, as of 20 March, according to UNESCO.[20]

States such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Pernambuco have cancelled classes in state schools, but some municipal schools continue having classes normally even in those states.[92][93][94] Minas Gerais state initially cancelled classes for public schools between for only three days[95] and on 18 March, the state governor announced that classes in the region of the state capital Belo Horizonte were cancelled indefinitely, because there was confirmed community transmission in the region, but the rest of the state would continue having classes normally until further notice.[96]

In São Paulo, classes are being cancelled gradually, so that parents had time to come up with solutions that didn't involve letting the kids be with their grandparents. Between 16 and 20 March, students could go to class, but absentees would not be penalised. Classes were indefinitely cancelled starting on March 23.[93]

Regarding the food safety of students, some municipal and state schools announced "food kits" for weekly pickup such as in Recife[97] or that some selected schools would remain open for students to have lunch, such as in Espírito Santo.[98]

In Higher Education, Unicamp was the first university of the country to cancel all classes, stating on 13 March. Initially, classes were cancelled until 31 March, but later the university extended the suspension until 12 April.[99] On 11 March, one student of USP was confirmed with the disease, leading one department to cancel classes for a single day,[100] and it wasn't until 17 March that the whole university cancelled classes.[101] Many universities across the country cancelled classes, such as UFV (since 16 March)[102] and UNILA (since 17 March),[103] but others remain open.

In the city of São Paulo, which is home to half of Brazil's 120,000 Jews, Jewish schools have closed and some are providing class remotely over video. In Rio de Janeiro, Jewish day schools also closed in the absence of a state-wide decision regarding the closure of Rio's public and private schools.[104]

Canada On 16 March 2020, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadians to stay home and closed its borders to all foreign nationals except for US citizens.[105] As of 16 March at the provincial and territorial level, all schools are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, with the exception of British Columbia and Yukon. However, Yukon schools began their spring break 16 March and on March 18, 2020 the closure was extended until April 15, 2020[106][107][108] The University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and the Emily Carr College of Art transitioned to online classes on March 16,[109] and on March 17, K-12 schools in British Columbia were suspended indefinitely.[110] COVID-19 pandemic in Canada [20]
India On 16 March, India declared a countrywide lock-down of schools and colleges.[111] On 19 March, the University Grants Commission asked universities to postpone exams till March 31. The board exams conducted by CBSE and ICSE boards have also been postponed until March 31.[112] COVID-19 pandemic in India [20]

United States As of April 10, 2020, most American public and private elementary and secondary schools—at least 124,000—had stopped in-person instruction nationwide, affecting at least 55.1 million students.[114] By May 2, school buildings had been ordered or recommended to be closed for the remainder of the academic year in 47 states, four territories, and the District of Columbia.[114] Most schools shifted to online learning; however, there are concerns about student access to necessary technology, absenteeism, and accommodations for special needs students.[115] School systems also looked to adjust grading scales and graduation requirements to mitigate the disruption caused by the unprecedented closures.[116]

A large number of higher educational institutions canceled classes and closed dormitories in response to the outbreak, including all members of the Ivy League,[117] and many other public and private universities across the country.[118] Many universities also expanded the use of pass/fail grading for the Spring 2020 semester.[119] On March 27, President Donald Trump signed the CARES Act, which includes economic relief for student loan borrowers. The Act placed all federally held student loans into forbearance and no interest will be added through September 30, 2020.[120]

See also: Social impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic

School closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have shed a light on numerous issues affecting access to education, as well as broader socio-economic issues.[20] As of March 12, more than 370 million children and youth are not attending school because of temporary or indefinite country wide school closures mandated by governments in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19.[20][122][123] As of 29 March, nearly 90% of the world's learners were impacted by closures.[20]

Even when school closures are temporary, it carries high social and economic costs. The disruptions they cause affect people across communities, but their impact is more severe for disadvantaged children and their families including interrupted learning, compromised nutrition, childcare problems and consequent economic cost to families who cannot work.[20][124] According to OECD studies, school performance hinges critically on maintaining close relationships with teachers. This is particularly true for students from disadvantaged backgrounds,  who  may not  have  the parental  support  needed to learn on their own.[125] Working parents are more likely to miss work when schools close in order to take care of their children, incurring wage loss in many instances and negatively impacting productivity.[4] Localised school closures place burdens on schools as parents and officials redirect children to schools that are open.[4]

Unintended strain on health-care system

Women make up almost 70% of the health care workforce, exposing them to a greater risk of infection.[126] They often cannot attend work because of childcare obligations that result from school closures. This means that many medical professionals are not at the facilities where they are most needed during a health crisis.[4]

Distance learning

Online learning has become a critical lifeline for education, as institutions seek to minimize the potential for community transmission.[127] Technology can enable teachers and students to access specialized materials well beyond textbooks, in multiple formats and in ways that can bridge time and space.[125]

In response to the pandemic, many schools moved to online distance learning via platforms like Zoom. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has created framework to guide an education response to the COVID-19 Pandemic for distance learning.[citation needed]

Unequal access to technology

Lack of access to technology or fast, reliable internet access can prevent students in rural areas and from disadvantaged families. Lack of access to technology or good internet connectivity is an obstacle to continued learning, especially for students from disadvantaged families.[4] In response to school closures caused by COVID-19, UNESCO recommends the use of distance learning programmes and open educational applications and platforms that schools and teachers can use to reach learners remotely and limit the disruption of education.[128]

To aid in slowing the transmission of COVID-19, hundreds of libraries have temporarily closed. In the United States, numerous major cities announced public library closures, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and New York City, affecting 221 libraries.[129] For students without internet at home, this increases the difficulty of keeping up with distance learning.[citation needed]

Unequal access to educational resources

Lack of limitations and exceptions to copyright can also have an impact on the ability of students to access the textbooks and materials they need to study.[130] Several initiatives were taken to grant that students and teachers can have access to open educational resources, or understand copyright limitations. The International Council for Open and Distance Education issued a special website to provide webinars, tips for online teaching and resources for teachers.[131]

In New Zealand, a group of publishers agreed to allow for virtual public readings of their materials from libraries and classrooms.[132] A similar agreement took place in Australia, where the Australian Publishers Association, the Australian Library and Information Association and the Australian Society of Authors agreed on a set of exceptional measures to allow libraries to provide educational content.[133] The Australian organization AMCOS agreed to give a gratis license for all their music sheets to all schools across Australia.[134]

An advocacy organization in Netherlands launched a website to allow teachers use free-licensed music and video for their classes.[135]

The Maricopa Millions OER Project launched a special emergency fund for building open educational resources.[136]

A coalition of over 500 civil society organizations and individuals issued a letter to Francis Gurry, Director of the World Intellectual Property Organization, asking, among other things, a special set of limitations and exceptions to copyright for the duration of the pandemic.[137]

Several organizations are also working to explain to teachers how to navigate copyright complex scenarios. The National Copyright Unit of Australia, a specialist copyright team responsible for copyright policy and administration for Australian schools and TAFE, issued a set of recommendations to follow on copyright issues while doing remote learning[138][139] and a set of recommendations for using openly licensed content, specially aimed to parents supporting students.[140] Centrum Cyfrowe in Poland is holding open calls to support the work of teachers and educators leading in the open education sector.[141] The Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at the American University is holding a set of webinars for different educators to guide them through copyright issues when delivering online teaching.[142]

Childcare

School closures puts a strain on parents and guardians to provide childcare and manage distance learning while children are out of school.[40] In the absence of alternative options, working parents often leave children alone when schools close and this can lead to risky behaviours, including increased influence of peer pressure and substance abuse.[4]

Nutrition and food insecurity

File:COVID-19 Free Meals Sign for Children and Students.jpg

Nutrition plays a critical role in cognitive development and academic performance for children.[143] Many children worldwide rely on free or discounted meals at schools.[40] When schools close, nutrition is especially compromised for children in schools where food is provided.[20]

In the United States, school lunch programmes are the second-biggest anti-hunger initiative after food stamps. Every year, nearly 30 million children rely on schools to provide free or low-cost meals including breakfast, lunch, snacks, and even dinner.[144] In Washington State, around 45% of the states 1.1 million students enrolled in traditional public and charter schools qualify for subsidised school meals. At least 520,000 students and their families may be affected by food insecurity as a result of school closures.[145] In Alabama, where state-wide school closures as of 18 March have affected over 720,000 students, the state Superintendent announced that staff in schools disproportionately affected by poverty would create meal distribution networks to provide food for students who rely on school lunches.[146]

Student learning outcomes

School closures negatively impact student learning outcomes.[4] Schooling provides essential learning and when schools close, children and youth are deprived opportunities for growth and development. The disadvantages are disproportionate for under-privileged learners who tend to have fewer educational opportunities beyond school.[128] When schools close, parents are often asked to facilitate the learning of children at home and can struggle to perform this task. This is especially true for parents with limited education and resources.[4]

Students gain slower during school closures than in a business-as-usual academic year. Kindergarten children in the U.S will loss 67% of their literacy ability during the COVID-19 school closures.[3]

Student drop-out rates tend to increase as an effect of school closures due to the challenge of ensuring all students return to school once school closures ends. This is especially true of protracted closures.[40][4] Disadvantaged, at-risk, or homeless children are more likely not to return to school after the closures are ended, and the effect will often be a life-long disadvantage from lost opportunities.[147]

Schools are also hubs of social activity and human interaction. When schools are closed, many children and youth miss out of on social contact that is essential to learning and development.[4]

Inaccessibility to mitigation strategies

The effect of school closure on academic achievement has been studied in the summer months.[148] Many of the strategies used to prevent academic slump, such as attending summer school, visiting libraries, and/or participating in literacy-rich summer-based activities are not available during the pandemic. Reading every day to a child, an option available while staying at home, reduced the rate of loss by 10.5%.[3]

Special education services

Potential impacts of school closures and reliance on distance learning are not addressed in federal acts[where?] of legislation at this time[when?].[145][149]

Impact on formal education

File:COVID-19 School closure sign in Williamsport, PA, USA.jpg

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Formal education — as opposed to informal education or non-formal education — tends to refer to schools, colleges, universities and training institutions.[150][151] A 1974 report by the World Bank defined formal education as the following:

Formal education: the hierarchically structured, chronologically graded ‘education system’, running from primary school through the university and including, in addition to general academic studies, a variety of specialised programmes and institutions for full-time technical and professional training.[150]

The majority of data collected on the number of students and learners impacted by COVID-19 has been calculated based on the closure of formal education systems.[152] The UNESCO Institute for Statistics provides figures on students impacted by COVID-19 corresponding to the number of learners enrolled at pre-primary, primary, lower-secondary, and upper-secondary levels of education [ISCED levels 0 to 3], as well as at tertiary education levels [ISCED levels 5 to 8].[152]

Early childhood education

Early childhood educational programmes are usually designed for children below the age of 3 and may refer to preschools, nursery schools, kindergartens, and some day care programmes.[153] While many primary and secondary schools have closed around the world due to COVID-19, measures impacting early childhood educational programmes have varied. In some countries and territories,[which?] preschools and day cares are considered necessary services and have not closed in tandem with broader school closure measures.[citation needed]

In the United States, the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families encouraged child care and early learning centres to stay open. Some school districts may offer alternative child care options, prioritising the children of first responders and healthcare workers.[154] The governor of Maryland mandated that specific child care services remain open for the children of emergency personnel while Washington State and California have left it to the discretion of care providers.[155][156] California Governor Gavin Newsom explained his state's position, saying “We need our child care facilities, our daycare centers, to operate to absorb the impact of these school closures.”[156] Colorado has encouraged the development of "tool kits" for parents to use at home to emulate the lessons children would have received in their early learning programmes.[157]

In Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe closed all schools throughout the country until April 8, however, children's daycare facilities were excluded.[158] In early March, five adults associated with a nursing facility for preschool children in Kobe tested positive for coronavirus. After testing over one hundred children at the facility, a preschool student was found to be carrying the virus.[159]

Primary

Primary or elementary education typically consists of the first four to seven years of formal education. Kindergarten is the first time children participate in formal education. The interruption of formal education during this grade will result a 67% loss of literacy ability in kindergarten children.[3]

The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) canceled the examinations for its Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme candidates scheduled between 30 April and 22 May 2020, reportedly affecting more than 200,000 students worldwide. The IBO stated that it would award candidates their diplomas or certificates based on "their coursework" and "the established assessment expertise, rigor, and quality control already built into the programme."[160]

Tertiary (higher)

Tertiary education, also known as higher education, refers to the non-compulsory educational levels that follow completion of secondary school or high school. Tertiary education is normally taken to include undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as vocational education and training. Individuals who complete tertiary education generally receive certificates, diplomas, or academic degrees.[161]

Undergraduate education

Undergraduate education is education conducted after secondary education and prior to post-graduate education, for which the learner is typically awarded a bachelor's degree.[161] Students enrolled in higher education programs at colleges, universities, and community colleges are often referred to as "college students" in countries such as United States.[citation needed]

The closure of colleges and universities has widespread implications for students, faculty, administrators, and the institutions themselves.

Colleges and universities across the United States have been called upon to issue refunds to students for the cost of tuition and room and board.[162][163]

While $6 billion in emergency relief is to be made available to students during the pandemic, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos decided on April 21, 2020 that it will only be made available to those students who are also already eligible for federal financial aid. This rule will exclude tens of thousands of undocumented students who participate in the government's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA, or "Dreamers") program from being able to receive emergency relief funds.[164]

Impact on local economies

In the United States of America, colleges and universities operate as "mini-cities" which generate significant revenue for cities, states, and regions.[165] For example, Princeton University estimated in 2017 that it contributed $1.58 billion USD per year to the New Jersey economy, and that students spent about $60 million in off-campus spending.[165] College and university closures have a domino effect on economies with far-reaching implications.[5]

In March, Linda Bilmes of the Harvard Kennedy School noted that "local hotels, restaurants, cafes, shops, car rental agencies and other local businesses obtain a significant share of annual revenue from graduation week and college reunions... these communities will suffer a lot of economic damage if the colleges remain closed at that time."[165]

Small towns which rely on college students to support the local economy and provide labour to local businesses are especially impacted by school closures and the exodus of students from campus.[162] In Ithaca, New York, Cornell University students spent at least $4 million a week in Tompkins County. In the wake of Cornell's decision to keep students home following spring break and transition to virtual instruction, the Mayor of Ithaca called for "immediate and forceful federal action — we will see a horrific economic impact as a result of Cornell University closing."[166]

Recommended alternatives

UNESCO makes 10 recommendations:

  1. Examine the readiness and choose the most relevant tools: Decide on the use high-technology and low-technology solutions based on the reliability of local power supplies, internet connectivity, and digital skills of teachers and students. This could range through integrated digital learning platforms, video lessons, MOOCs, to broadcasting through radios and TVs.
  2. Ensure inclusion of the distance learning programmes: Implement measures to ensure that students including those with disabilities or from low-income backgrounds have access to distance learning programmes, if only a limited number of them have access to digital devices. Consider temporarily decentralising such devices from computer labs to families and support them with internet connectivity.
  3. Protect data privacy and data security: Assess data security when uploading data or educational resources to web spaces, as well as when sharing them with other organisations or individuals. Ensure that the use of applications and platforms does not violate students’ data privacy.
  4. Prioritize solutions to address psychosocial challenges before teaching: Mobilize available tools to connect schools, parents, teachers, and students with each other. Create communities to ensure regular human interactions, enable social caring measures, and address possible psychosocial challenges that students may face when they are isolated.
  5. Plan the study schedule of the distance learning programmes: Organise discussions with stakeholders to examine the possible duration of school closures and decide whether the distance learning programme should focus on teaching new knowledge or enhance students’ knowledge of prior lessons. Plan the schedule depending on the situation of the affected zones, level of studies, needs of students needs, and availability of parents. Choose the appropriate learning methodologies based on the status of school closures and home-based quarantines. Avoid learning methodologies that require face-to-face communication.
  6. Provide support to teachers and parents on the use of digital tools: Organise brief training or orientation sessions for teachers and parents as well, if monitoring and facilitation are needed. Help teachers to prepare the basic settings such as solutions to the use of internet data if they are required to provide live streaming of lessons.
  7. Blend appropriate approaches and limit the number of applications and platforms: Blend tools or media that are available for most students, both for synchronous communication and lessons, and for asynchronous learning. Avoid overloading students and parents by asking them to download and test too many applications or platforms.
  8. Develop distance learning rules and monitor students’ learning process: Define the rules with parents and students on distance learning. Design formative questions, tests, or exercises to monitor closely students’ learning process. Try to use tools to support submission of students’ feedback and avoid overloading parents by requesting them to scan and send students’ feedback
  9. Define the duration of distance learning units based on students’ self-regulation skills: Keep a coherent timing according to the level of the students’ self-regulation and metacognitive abilities especially for livestreaming classes. Preferably, the unit for primary school students should not be more than 20 minutes, and no longer than 40 minutes for secondary school students.
  10. Create communities and enhance connection: Create communities of teachers, parents, and school managers to address sense of loneliness or helplessness, facilitate sharing of experience and discussion on coping strategies when facing learning difficulties.[167]
