Educational Sociology
Written Report

We are living in the midst of a massive educational crisis, which could be one of the most serious
threats to global education in our lifetime. We were already in the midst of a worldwide learning crisis,
with many pupils attending school but failing to gain the core skills required for success in life. Before
the epidemic, the World Bank's "Learning Poverty" indicator – the percentage of children who cannot
read and understand at the age of ten – stood at 53% of children in low- and middle-income nations. If
we do not act quickly, this pandemic has the potential to worsen these results even further.
What should we be concerned about in this stage of the crisis that could have a direct impact on
children and youth?
(1) Learning losses (2) Dropout rates (3) Children missing their most critical meal of the day
Furthermore, most countries have extremely uneven educational systems, and impoverished children
will bear the brunt of these detrimental consequences. It pours for them when it rains.

Some countries will be able to improve the digital abilities of its instructors. Radio and television stations will
realize their critical role in advancing national education goals – and, ideally, improve the quality of their
programming as a result of their enormous social duty. Parents will be more involved in their children's
education, and education ministries will have a better awareness of the gaps and problems (in connectivity,
hardware, curriculum integration, and teacher preparedness) that exist in effectively using technology and will be
able to address them. All of these can help a country's future educational system.

Every educational system has the same goal. It's about overcoming the learning crisis we've already been
through and responding to the pandemic we're all dealing with. The task today is to minimize the negative impact
of the epidemic on learning and schooling as much as possible, and to build on this experience to return to a
path of faster learning improvement. As education systems deal with the crisis, they must consider how to
recover stronger, with a renewed sense of responsibility among all actors and a better understanding and sense
of urgency about the need to close the opportunity gap and ensure that all children have equal access to a high-
quality education.
