“…For instance, England set up a £1 billion fund with two branches: £350 million will be directed to ensure the most disadvantaged pupils can access tutors over the year, and £650 million will be directed to primary and secondary schools who will have the choice to provide additional 1-on-1 or group tutoring for any pupils that they identify need it. 66 France will fund 1.5 million additional teaching hours so that all students have the option of taking at least 3 h of homework support per week under the Devoirs faits program (which offers voluntary homework support). 67 The Philippines also issued a plan where students who earn less than a 75% grade receive remedial classes for six weeks.…”

COVID-19 is not only leading to lower student learning levels, but likely resulting in a learning inequality catastrophe. In this chapter, we document the high-levels of learning inequality (within and between countries) that existed before the pandemic and disentangle the different mechanisms through which changes in inequality in learning may happen because of a shock like COVID-19, examining the role of school and family inputs. We show that historically, similar shocks in average learning levels disproportionally affect the most vulnerable students, and that emerging evidence from developed countries, as well as simulations, support the expected significant shifts in the learning distribution. Finally, we present a set of compensatory education policies that countries must urgently implement to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on learning inequality and promote equality of opportunities during and after the pandemic.
