Learning poverty and Covid-19
Learning poverty means being unable to read and understand a simple text by the age 10, 53 percent of children in low and middle-income countries can not read and understand a simple story, in their primary school level education. An estimated that 930,000 additional children are expected to drop out from both primary and secondary education while more than 22 million children are already out from school since covid19 has brought a huge disturbance in student’s life as if they have lost their abilities for learning. Pakistan is also suffering from the same consequence that in Pakistan the learning poverty is already high at 75 percent and almost 4.2 percent Pakistan is globally the country where dropouts are the highest due to the covid19 crisis. On the other hand, covid19 has brought two main problems for Pakistanis students that Pakistan is high for two main reasons that high poverty level, which leads families to push their children into labour or marriage from an early age and the cost of private schooling in which 38 percent of school-going children aged six to ten were enrolled before the crisis. So, we should work hard to improve our learning to cover the thing, but the government must do something by which student should improve their learning skills.
