Will U.S. Students Recover from Pandemic Learning Loss?

Without a successful recovery effort, student learning loss will be the longest lasting (and most inequitable) legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic. The panel will discuss the wide disparity in learning loss in different communities, and the latest research on the role played by school closures, poverty, parents’ ability to work from home and other factors. We will also describe current recovery efforts, federal relief funding and the urgent need for more aggressive action.
