The abrupt closing of schools, early childhood programs and child care centers to contain COVID-19 undoubtedly saved thousands of lives. But this life-saving measure has also had an unintended consequence: a student learning loss that is unprecedented. As with COVID-19 itself, the harshest effects will fall most heavily on those with preexisting conditions, which include:
Children who are in households that lack internet connectivity.
Children with special needs or with caretakers who work in the informal economy –or in low-paid but “essential” jobs.
Children who are in families with language and literacy barriers.
