Gendered Effects of COVID-19 School Closures: Bangladesh Case Study. GIRL Center Research Brief No. 9
Population Council
This brief summarizes a case study conducted to assess the gendered impacts of COVID-19 school closures on adolescent girls and boys in three districts in the province of Punjab in Pakistan. Data as well as discussions and interviews with adolescents, teachers, and parents shed light on difficulties in accessing and adjusting to remote learning, learning loss, deterioration of behaviors and health, and other effects. Based on these findings and further reflections by stakeholders on the successes and gaps of mitigation measures, the case study proposes recommendations for improved teacher training, digital access, alternative learning options, and a gendered focus in interventions. [This brief was prepared with the support of Eashita Farzana Haque, Natalie Wyss, Emily EunYoung Cho, and Karen Austrian.]
