First, we developed a Boolean search string defining the population school-aged children , exposure the COVID pandemic and outcomes of interest learning progress. The full search string can be found in Section 1. Second, we used this string to search the following academic databases: Coronavirus Research Database, the Education Resources Information Centre, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, Politics Collection PAIS index, policy file index, political science database and worldwide political science abstracts , Social Science Database, Sociology Collection applied social science index and abstracts, sociological abstracts and sociology database , Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science.
Second, we hand-searched multiple preprint and working paper repositories Social Science Research Network, Munich Personal RePEc Archive, IZA, National Bureau of Economic Research, OSF Preprints, PsyArXiv, SocArXiv and EdArXiv and relevant policy websites, including the websites of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United Nations, the World Bank and the Education Endowment Foundation. Third, we periodically posted our protocol via Twitter in order to crowdsource additional relevant studies not identified through the search. All titles and abstracts identified in our search were double-screened using the Rayyan online application Our initial search was conducted on 27 April , and we conducted two forward and backward citation searches of all eligible studies identified in the above steps, on 14 February , and on 8 August , to ensure that our analysis includes recent relevant research.
From the studies that meet our inclusion criteria we extracted all estimates of learning deficits during the pandemic, separately for maths and reading and for different school grades. We also extracted the corresponding sample size, standard error, date s of measurement, author name s and country. We contacted study authors if any of the above information was missing in the study. Data extraction was performed by B. and validated independently by A. We use a binary indicator for whether the study outcome is maths or reading. One study does not differentiate the outcome but includes a composite of maths and reading scores We distinguish between primary and secondary education.
We first consulted the original studies for this information. Four countries in our sample are in the upper-middle-income group: Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and South Africa. All other countries are in the high-income group. We synthesize our data using three synthesis techniques. First, we generate a forest plot, based on all available estimates of learning progress during the pandemic. We pool estimates using a random-effects restricted maximum likelihood model and inverse variance weights to calculate an overall effect size Fig. Second, we code all estimates of changes in educational inequality between children from different socio-economic backgrounds during the pandemic, according to whether they indicate an increase, a decrease or no change in educational inequality.
We visualize the resulting distribution using a harvest plot Fig. Third, given that the limited amount of available evidence precludes multivariate or causal analyses, we examine the bivariate association between COVID learning deficits and the months in which learning was measured using a scatter plot Fig. The reported estimates, CIs and statistical significance tests of these bivariate associations are based on common-effects models with standard errors clustered by study, and two-sided tests. With respect to statistical tests reported, the data distribution was assumed to be normal, but this was not formally tested. The distribution of estimates of learning deficits is shown separately for the different moderator categories in Fig. Further information on research design is available in the Nature Portfolio Reporting Summary linked to this article.

Joan Carney, Rhona Fisher, … M. Andrea K. Bowe, Gordon Lightbody, … Deirdre M. To what extent has the learning progress of school-aged children slowed down during the COVID pandemic? A growing number of studies address this question, but findings vary depending on context. Here we conduct a pre-registered systematic review, quality appraisal and meta-analysis of 42 studies across 15 countries to assess the magnitude of learning deficits during the pandemic. Learning deficits are particularly large among children from low socio-economic backgrounds. They are also larger in maths than in reading and in middle-income countries relative to high-income countries. There is a lack of evidence on learning progress during the pandemic in low-income countries.
Future research should address this evidence gap and avoid the common risks of bias that we identify. The coronavirus disease COVID pandemic has led to one of the largest disruptions to learning in history. But even when face-to-face teaching resumed, instruction has often been compromised by hybrid teaching, and by children or teachers having to quarantine and miss classes. These negative consequences can be expected to be most pronounced for children from low socio-economic family backgrounds, exacerbating pre-existing educational inequalities.
It is critical to understand the extent to which learning progress has changed since the onset of the COVID pandemic. At the societal level, it can have important implications for growth, prosperity and social cohesion. As policy-makers across the world are seeking to limit further learning deficits and to devise policies to recover learning deficits that have already been incurred, assessing the current state of learning is crucial. A careful assessment of the COVID learning deficit is also necessary to weigh the true costs and benefits of school closures. A number of narrative reviews have sought to summarize the emerging research on COVID and learning, mostly focusing on learning progress relatively early in the pandemic 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6. Moreover, two reviews harmonized and synthesized existing estimates of learning deficits during the pandemic 7 , 8.
In line with the narrative reviews, these two reviews find a substantial reduction in learning progress during the pandemic. However, this finding is based on a relatively small number of studies 18 and 10 studies, respectively. The limited evidence that was available at the time these reviews were conducted also precluded them from meta-analysing variation in the magnitude of learning deficits over time and across subjects, different groups of students or country contexts. In this Article, we conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence on COVID learning deficits 2. We contribute to the existing research in two ways. First, we describe and appraise the up-to-date body of evidence, including its geographic reach and quality. More specifically, we ask the following questions: 1 what is the state of the evidence, in terms of the available peer-reviewed research and grey literature, on learning progress of school-aged children during the COVID pandemic?
and 3 what is the quality of the existing evidence? Our second contribution is to harmonize, synthesize and meta-analyse the existing evidence, with special attention to variation across different subpopulations and country contexts. On the basis of the identified studies, we ask 4 to what extent has the learning progress of school-aged children changed since the onset of the pandemic? and 8 to what extent does the magnitude of learning deficits vary across national contexts? Below, we report our answers to each of these questions in turn. We had planned to examine gender differences in learning progress during the pandemic, but found there to be insufficient evidence to conduct this subgroup analysis, as the large majority of the identified studies do not provide evidence on learning deficits separately by gender.
We also planned to examine how the magnitude of learning deficits differs across groups of students with varying exposures to school closures. This was not possible as the available data on school closures lack sufficient depth with respect to variation of school closures within countries, across grade levels and with respect to different modes of instruction, to meaningfully examine this association. Our systematic review identified 42 studies on learning progress during the COVID pandemic that met our inclusion criteria. As shown in Fig. All studies were double screened by the first two authors. The formal database search process identified 15 eligible studies. We also hand searched relevant preprint repositories and policy databases. Further, to ensure that our study selection was as up to date as possible, we conducted two full forward and backward citation searches of all included studies on 15 February , and on 8 August The citation and preprint hand searches allowed us to identify 27 additional eligible studies, resulting in a total of 42 studies.
Most of these studies were published after the initial database search, which illustrates that the body of evidence continues to expand. Most studies provide multiple estimates of COVID learning deficits, separately for maths and reading and for different school grades. Flow diagram of the study identification and selection process, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses PRISMA guidelines. Table 1 presents all included studies and estimates of COVID learning deficits in brackets , grouped by the 15 countries represented: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the United States.
As this list shows, there is a strong over-representation of studies from high-income countries, a dearth of studies from middle-income countries and no studies from low-income countries. This skewed representation should be kept in mind when interpreting our synthesis of the existing evidence on COVID learning deficits. We assessed the quality of the evidence using an adapted version of the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions ROBINS-I tool 9. More specifically, we analysed the risk of bias of each estimate from confounding, sample selection, classification of treatments, missing data, the measurement of outcomes and the selection of reported results. and B. performed the risk-of-bias assessments, which were independently checked by the respective other author.
We then assigned each study an overall risk-of-bias rating low, moderate, serious or critical based on the estimate and domain with the highest risk of bias. Figure 2a shows the distribution of all studies of COVID learning deficits according to their risk-of-bias rating separately for each domain top six rows , as well as the distribution of studies according to their overall risk of bias rating bottom row. In line with ROBINS-I guidance, studies rated to be at critical risk of bias were excluded from all analyses and other figures in this article and in the Supplementary Information including b.
The overlaid curve shows a normal distribution. The absence of a spike in the distribution of the z scores just above the threshold for statistical significance and the absence of a slump just below it indicate the absence of evidence for publication bias. These are thus not part of the 42 studies included in our meta-analysis. Supplementary Table 2 provides an overview of these studies as well as the main potential sources of risk of bias. Moreover, in Supplementary Figs. Studies rated at risk of confounding typically compared only two timepoints, without accounting for longer time trends in learning progress. The main causes of selection bias were the use of convenience samples and insufficient consideration of self-selection by schools or students.
Several studies found evidence of selection bias, often with students from a low socio-economic background or schools in deprived areas being under-represented after as compared with before the pandemic, but this was not always adjusted for. Some studies also reported a higher amount of missing data post-pandemic, again generally without adjustment, and several studies did not report any information on missing data. For an overview of the risk-of-bias ratings for each domain of each study, see Supplementary Fig. Publication bias can occur if authors self-censor to conform to theoretical expectations, or if journals favour statistically significant results. To mitigate this concern, we include not only published papers, but also preprints, working papers and policy reports.
Moreover, Fig. If there was publication bias, we would expect a spike just above the threshold, and a slump just below it. There is no indication of this. Moreover, we do not find a left-skewed distribution of P values see P curve in Supplementary Fig. Publication bias thus does not appear to be a major concern. Having assessed the quality of the existing evidence, we now present the substantive results of our meta-analysis, focusing on the magnitude of COVID learning deficits and on the variation in learning deficits over time, across different groups of students, and across country contexts.
Figure 3 shows the effect sizes that we extracted from each study averaged across grades and learning subject as well as the pooled effect size red diamond. Estimates are pooled using inverse variance weights. Under normal circumstances, students generally improve their performance by around 0. On average, the learning progress of school-aged children has slowed substantially during the pandemic. One may expect that children were able to recover learning that was lost early in the pandemic, after teachers and families had time to adjust to the new learning conditions and after structures for online learning and for recovering early learning deficits were set up.
However, existing research on teacher strikes in Belgium 13 and Argentina 14 , shortened school years in Germany 15 and disruptions to education during World War II 16 suggests that learning deficits are difficult to compensate and tend to persist in the long run. Figure 4 plots the magnitude of estimated learning deficits on the vertical axis by the date of measurement on the horizontal axis. The colour of the circles reflects the relevant country, the size of the circles indicates the sample size for a given estimate and the line displays a linear trend. The figure suggests that learning deficits opened up early in the pandemic and have neither closed nor substantially widened since then.
This implies that efforts by children, parents, teachers and policy-makers to adjust to the changed circumstance have been successful in preventing further learning deficits but so far have been unable to reverse them. As shown in Supplementary Fig. However, it is important to note that estimates of learning deficits are based on distinct samples of students. Future research should continue to follow the learning progress of cohorts of students in different countries to reveal how learning deficits of these cohorts have developed and continue to develop since the onset of the pandemic.
