    This Insight note aims to estimate the magnitude of learning loss attributable to the Covid-19 pandemic in Ehtiopia by comparing the numeracy levels and progress of Grade 1 and Grade 4 pupils across two academic years: 2018-19 and 2020-21 and suggests that school closures exacerbated pre-existing inequalities in education, where progress was much lower for rural students compared to those in urban areas

    This paper assesses the factors underpinning trends in mathematics learning for Grade 4 pupils in Ethiopia based on data collected in 2012-13 (the Young Lives surveys, YL) and 2018-19 (the RISE surveys) during the GEQIP-II Education Reform. It combines comparable data on attainments on tests of students’ mathematics knowledge with information on their family background, their teachers, and the schools they attend
