Our girls back to school campaign is ongoing. Day 38
The impact of school closures on student learning has been a topic of heated debate since they first became a tool in the battle against the pandemic COVID-19.
Today we invite Lucrecia, she will share with us the impact that Covid-19 had on her studies.
Good afternoon, my name is Lucrécia Mateus, I am a senior in high school.
Talking about the impact that Covid-19 had on my life, I would like to stress my daily school routine first. Considering the fact that we were used to a certain daily school routine and we were about to finish the academic year, when the pandemic appeared we had a stop of the year, this changed the plans and expectations we had for the year.
Speaking about biosecurity conditions, I would like to see some changes in basic conditions like hand sanitizers and water for hand washing. Because I have noticed that there are schools that still do not guarantee good conditions for their students and not only. Let the school create better conditions!
I would also like to appeal to be more vigilant for those who have so far been unable to return to school because they have lost their jobs. Since many people depended on their jobs to pay their school fees and we know that this pandemic has resulted in a high number of unemployed people.
Speaking of your academic performance, how did covid-19 affect your studies before and after the pandemic, is there any difference?
The difference is only in that custom that I had to study daily, with the pandemic I no longer have the same habit of studying daily as it was before, I got lazy and not only, maybe also because we thought that we would only return to school the following year, but when we hear in the news that we must return to studies, we are trying to fit in the new standard that was created with the rules of the pandemic for students. We are living like this.
How did your exams go? Haven't you forgotten anything you've studied before?
I forgot, of course, but the essentials were not forgotten.
How have teachers been behaving?
They behave in a way that matches the current state we are in.
Have you been following the coronavirus prevention measures?
Yes, I am following.
What are the preventive measures against covid-19 that you follow?
After leaving the street or a crowded place we must wash our hands with soap and water, use our mask correctly, eating according to the state that our country or the world is in, this means having a diet that helps to strengthen our organism, if one day we get covid-19 we will have at least one way to get rid of it.
Ok. What did you notice at school? Did all of your colleagues who studied with you before the pandemic return to school?
Since there has been separation of students the number of students in the classroom has reduced, those in my group have all returned, I have no information if there are students who have dropped out. But according to my knowledge, everyone who studied with me before the pandemic returned to school.
The COVID-19 crisis has forced school closures in 188 countries, heavily disrupting the learning process of more than 1.7 billion children, youth, and their families.
It was clearly expected early on that the closures would cause major interruptions to student learning. In fact, estimates suggest that if a student loses about a third of a school year of learning, this is associated with an income loss of about 3% on average over the entire working life.
