IFS Zooms In: The Economy

Catching up on lost learning

By the time the pandemic is over, most children across the UK will have missed over half a year of normal, in-person schooling. That’s likely to be more than 5% of their entire time in school.


What are the effects of this lost learning? How is it impacting students and teachers? What can policymakers do to make up for lost learning?


Here to discuss are Luke Sibieta, IFS Research Fellow, and Becky Francis, CEO of the Education Endowment Foundation, an independent charity which seeks to improve the educational attainment of the poorest pupils in English schools.
