ABIP Workshop Series

Insights on Achieving Learning

Recovery
Background
• Recent analysis from the World Bank estimates a loss of between 0.8 and 1.2 years of learning adjusted
schooling for each primary school student. Thus, the questions emerge on how to further mitigate and
compensate learning loss that will transform into learning recovery.
• With the recent decline of Covid-19 cases and the vaccination processes continues, schools have started to re-
open with health protocols to be met. A few issues are to be addressed during this critical time:
1. Putting forward the significance of edtech to deal with the inequality of access to digital learning due to
geographical conditions and different household income.
2. Encouraging hybrid education focusing on student-centered learning as schools re-open, to ensure sound
transition and to continue to take advantage of hybrid modality to enhance learning outcomes.
3. Thirdly, psychosocial support for students and teachers most affected by the pandemic.
4. Effective continuous professional development during and post-covid time. Teacher’s competency in
primary, secondary, and vocational schools is pivotal in learning outcomes that needs to be revitalized
and continued.
Goal and Objectives
• Knowledge Sharing. The goal of the program is to develop a capacity for knowledge sharing, inform policy, and
insights for the implementation of learning recovery in Indonesia.
1. Education Technologies for Learning Recovery
2. Hybrid Education Focusing on Student-Centered Learning
3. The Importance of Student Psychological Support during COVID Time
4. The Effective Continuous Professional Development During and Post-COVID Pandemic
Development of Technical Notes. The captured knowledge and experience from the workshops will be synthesized
in a series of technical notes to be shared to the relevant stakeholders and policy makers, to inform policy
formulation and implementation.
• Knowledge-sharing Activities--A Series of Webinars
1. About. With close collaboration from the GoI and World Bank country team, the analytical work related to
education sector policies during the pandemic have been conducted.
2. Time. A series of webinars on insights of learning recovery is designed to be delivered biweekly in the period
of four months from September to December 2021.
3. Proposed Plan. Each webinar will explore one issue in corresponse to the four issues in learning loss recovery.
