On 23 March 2020, the Malawi Government announced the closure of all schools to
contain the spread of Covid-19. A gradual re-opening plan was announced and fully
implemented in October 2020. Schools were then closed again in January 2021 due
to a surge in Covid-19 cases, followed by teacher industrial action which impacted
on learning and dropouts as learners were sent home or left unattended during the
stand-off. Schools were then reopened in March 2021. This brief explores the challenges
children faced in accessing education during school closures, and the continued
challenges they face in returning to school and catching up on lost learning despite
ongoing mitigation efforts. It draws on these findings to offer policy and programme
recommendations to support ongoing efforts to mitigate the impacts of the crisis on
learning in Malawi and to build a more resilient education system in the future. |
