SUMMARY:Measuring the Impact of COVID-19 on Education in Pakistan
DESCRIPTION:20 October 2021\, 7am UK time\nLaunch of ASER Learning Losses R
 eport - Measuring the Impact of COVID-19 on Education in Pakistan\nThe COV
 ID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global efforts to ensure that all chi
 ldren receive a quality education. Pakistan is no exception. School closur
 es to limit the spread of COVID-19 have directly impacted an estimated 40 
 million school-going learners from pre-primary to higher-secondary levels\
 , in a context where school enrolment\, completion\, and quality of learni
 ng are already low\, especially for girls.\nTo understand the extent of th
 e issue and to develop a body of evidence to inform future policy directio
 ns\, UNICEF Pakistan has supported a study conducted by Idara-e-Taleem-o-A
 agahi (ITA) on “Measuring the Impact of COVID-19 on Education in Pakist
 an”\, focusing particularly on learning losses due to school closures an
 d the measures taken to support learning for school-going children. It eva
 luated learning losses incurred due to school closures using the ASER asse
 ssment tool and identified the extent to which factors like parental educa
 tion and wealth index of households and access to technology enabled child
 ren to continue learning. The estimates reported are from a survey conduct
 ed across 16 rural districts (4 in Balochistan\, 4 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\, 4 
 Punjab\, &amp\; 4 Sindh).\nITA &amp\; UNICEF would like to invite you for 
 the launch of this report to share key findings from the study on Wednesda
 y 2oth October at 11 am.  Please see zoom link below.\nZoom Link:\nhttps:
