Abstract

Using data from a random sample of schools, this paper studies the extent of learning losses and recovery from COVID-19 pandemic in Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria, and provides some evidence that a full recovery is possible through a program designed to slow down the curriculum and cover what was missed during school closures.

This research is part of the Research on Improving Systems of Education programme.
