the pandemic has affected nearly $1600000000.00 students across more than $190.00 countries at least $40000000.00 children have missed their preschool year because of covert 19 restrictions $1250000000.00 children were out of school before the pandemic now the u.n. is warning nearly 24000000 more could drop out whole lose access to education the u.n. says before reopening schools it's important to control local transmission supply adequate funding and reach worse off students almost out of study is a senior fellow at. a policy think tank he joins us now from islamabad thank you for your time one longer term impacts will this missing out have on young people particularly in the global south and developing countries. i think you know it's probably the most important question that needs to be asked you know there was a lot of focus on school re openings a lot of countries have tried to reopen schools some with some success others you
1:09 pm
know have had to go back to shutting them down but there was an anticipation here in pakistan that september 15th is probably the outer limit of how long government can sort of hold on before private schools especially low cost private schools in particular are forced to open because many of them are going to go bankrupt but these temporal considerations ignore the question that you asked which as i said is probably the most vital the long term implications of the learning loss the long term implications of the policy momentum that has been lost in a country like pakistan where the estimates are that still over 20000000 kids are out of school kids that should be in school according to the constitution and according to any metric or measure of sort of human decency and yet the fact that schools have been closed as long as they have the number of bankruptcies in the low cost private school sector the learning loss impact especially on kids that are of
1:10 pm
a younger age all of those things combined with the exacerbated sentiment and awareness that people will have after this that the digital divide is no longer some conceptual old realm it actually deeply and it measurably effects the potential learning and cognitive development of young people in a country like pakistan in the whole south asia region not cross africa and i would say this extends even to developed countries but obviously in those countries there's much more money available to throw at the problem i think on something you mentioned there you know younger kids they have these incredible developmental jumps at that sort of a so if they know going to preschool of those early years of school is it a matter of not it's not just you know failing to learn facts but actually failing to know how to learn and what impact that might have down the road. absolutely
1:11 pm
there's a huge developmental challenge when we interviewed school teachers that were trying to engage which with kids online what we found was that as the as the age goes up so at grade levels 56 and 7 when kids are 111213 it's easier to manage a group of say 8 or 10 kids on a zoom call but when you when you're dealing with 5678 year olds even trying to do assume go with 3 of them at one time is difficult so there's obviously they're learning loss impact of the developmental impact but also imagine the stress levels that many teachers of children who can't afford digital technology where have i pads or screens at home will have 4 g. internet connections even in those cases the there is a developmental and learning impact on the kids but there's also a massively enhanced work hours and stress levels for teachers because they're
