COVID-19 has forced governments to rapidly roll-out or scale-up remote learning programs, and it is unlikely that the ideal pre-conditions for such a rapid roll-out were in place across the world. As such our estimations rely on assumptions on the effectiveness of alternative learning modalities that governments are providing during school closures.

If schools are closed for 5 months, COVID-19 could result in a loss of 0.6 years of schooling adjusted for quality. From earlier work on the Human Capital Index, we know that children around the world receive an average of 11.3 years of schooling throughout their lifetimes. But this amounts only to 7.8 years of schooling when adjusted for the quality of learning they experience during this time.
According to global estimates of Learning Poverty, 53 percent of all children in the developing world cannot read and understand a simple paragraph by age 10.91 Azevedo (2020) shows that the pandemic has massively disrupted education delivery and aggravated a pre-existing global learning crisis, as it could increase the percentage of primary school-age children in low- and middle-income countries living in learning poverty to 63 percent, and risk pushing an additional 72 million primary school aged children into learning poverty.
The simulations presented here indicate that the world is poised to face a substantial setback to the goal of halving the number of learning poor and will be unable to meet the goal by 2030 unless drastic remedial action is taken. An ongoing learning crisis could well be amplified if appropriate policy responses are not prepared.

Rudisha first made his name at the 2009 World Athletics Championships at Berlin in August, reaching the 800 meters semifinals. One month later, the 22-year-old won the IAAF Grand Prix tour event in Rieti, Italy, posting a new African record of 1:42.01, beating the 25-year old record of 1:42.28 set by compatriot Sammy Koskei. That effort put him in fourth place on the all-time list. On July 10. Rudisha ran the 800m in 1:41.51 at the KBC Night of Athletics in Belgium. This new personal record placed him No 2 on the all-time list for the 800 m. And soon the Kenyan claimed the crown in the men's 800m community when he broke the world record at the IAAF World Challenge meet in Berlin on Aug 22, 2010, with a time of 1:41.09, 0.02 seconds faster than the previous mark, held by Kenyan-born Danish runner Wilson Kipketer (set in 1997). Rudisha claimed that it had been his "first real attempt" at breaking the record, and he was capable of improving the time. This was proven one week later when he set a new world record of 1:41.01 in Italy.
The 19-year-old Chinese stunned the world by winning the 1,500m freestyle at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games with a new Asian record of 14:35.43.

"To break Hackett's world record is my goal, and I will never give up. I will keep working hard after the Asian Games, and I hope I can achieve good results at 2011 Shanghai worlds and 2012 London Olympic Games," said Sun.
