As per eminent experts and prolific economics
assignment help stalwarts, prolonged school
closures associated with the coronavirus pandemic
are likely to have a major negative effect on
childrens education. It would leave some
students academically behind for years to come,
and even leading to the mean loss of income of
many families. In the weeks since public, as
well as private schools across the country,
remains closed to spread the deathly COVID-19,
one question that has repeatedly been asked to
the educators How would this affect the career
of the children? In short, no one knows for
sure. In this article, we have highlighted
certain unique ways researchers have found the
effect of school shutdown affecting the education
of children-

Some researchers believe summer vacation impedes
learning Talk of the top economics assignment
help forums since the closing of schools has been
how missing school whether voluntary or
involuntary, has negative consequences for
student learning. There is a long-standing line
of research in the education sector about summer
learning loss. According to such theory, kids
appear to regress academically during the annual
summer vacation. These seem like the best model
we can take into account what happens when
schools shut down for months at a time.

Literature especially focusses on the fact that
while kids from low-income families would start
behind academically, the gap is likely to
increase in summer. However, some argue that
children do not learn much for the entire summer,
and this is true for both poor and non-poor kids.
Thus, the vacation offers an opportunity to
close the achievement gap by providing poor kids
bonus school time over the summer.

• Impact of school closures vary as per childrens
  socioeconomic backgrounds and geographic location
  
• As per the researchers, children of lower-income
  families and the rural areas arent as likely to
  have the internet as the children of middle-class
  families. Some of them even do not have the fast
  broadband internet required to stream online
  classes and instructional videos. As such, they
  are more likely to suffer more due to the
  shutdowns of the schools.
• On the other hand, it has been observed that
  children from higher-income households are more
  likely to have private tutors. They also have a
  stay-at-home parent who can dedicate more time to
  oversee the academic growth of their children
  during school shutdowns.

• Other Crucial factors That Are Likely To
  Influence Academic Achievement
• A lack of access to classrooms and formalised
  instructions arent the only factors affecting
  the learning of the students right now.
  Researchers point out, children whose family are
  in various stress like losing jobs, low income,
  the ongoing shortage of certain foods or supplies
  along with the anxiety of Covid-19 are most
  likely to be impacted.
• Apart from that, a child who is forced to spend
  all day, every day in an abusive household,
  safety is a concern for him rather than
  education.

This is nothing but bad news for us. If you look
at all the factors mentioned above, you will
notice that apart from the hindering of academic
achievement, there is also inequality amidst the
children which would only grow. For now, we
must, of course, defeat our immediate enemy,
which is the COVID-19. But, its never too early
to start thinking about the day after we declare
victory, whenever that might be.
