On Thursday the Caribbean Policy Research Institute or CAPRI launched the findings of its latest report, which is titled “Time Out: The Impact of COVID on Education,” The study which was conducted by Stephanie Sewell and Maxine Henry-Wilson is co-funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office. The team reviewed and analysed the pandemic's disruption and its impact on education, which plays a critical role in national development at both the individual and societal levels. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in widespread school closures in more than 160 countries. Over 1.2 billion students at all levels of education around the world have stopped having face-to-face classes. More than 160 million of these were students in Latin America and the Caribbean. Here in Jamaica the schools were ordered physically closed on March 13, 2020 by the education ministry in keeping with recommendations from health authorities. The closure would affect 600,000 students in the educational system. With the new school term set to begin this month, the country will soon hear what shape this new school year will take.
