Tóm tắt

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.
