Gustafsson said that the situation concerning enrolments above age 15 “seems to be less serious”.
The sobering reality is that we have now reached a point where it’s virtually impossible to recover all of the lost learning.According to the Wave 5 NIDS-CRAM released last month, the number of seven- to 17-year-olds who have not attended school once this year is between 650,342 and 753,371. He said that if a child loses a week of school time, the child has lost about one-and-a-half weeks of actual learning “because of the way learning works, the disruptions and forgetting”.
