Help us predict where primary school students stand in spring 2021, one year after initial school closures. We will investigate this next and are curious about your best guess.

In the Netherlands, schools closed for 8 weeks in spring 2020. Engzell, Frey, and Verhagen estimate that this led to a drop in performance of 3 percentile points (pp) or 0.08 standard deviations (SD) immediately after school re-openings in May 2020.

Since then, students have mostly attended regularly, but a second school closure took place between 16 December 2020 and 7 February 2021. This lasted for 7.5 weeks, of which 2 weeks occurred over Christmas break.

In spring 2020, school closures led to a -0.08 SD / -3 pp drop in student performance. Where are students in spring 2021 after a second school closure?

+-0 SD / +-0 pp – All learning loss has been recovered

-0.03 SD / -1 pp – Most learning loss has been recovered

-0.05 SD / -2 pp – Some learning loss has been recovered

-0.08 SD / -3 pp – Learning loss remained unchanged

-0.10 SD / -4 pp – Learning loss increased somewhat

-0.13 SD / -5 pp – Learning loss increased nearly twofold

-0.15 SD / -6 pp – Learning loss increased twofold

-0.18 SD / -7 pp – Learning loss increased more than twofold

-0.20 SD / -8 pp – Learning loss increased nearly threefold

-0.23 SD / -9 pp – Learning loss increased threefold

-0.25 SD / -10 pp or more – Learning loss increased more than threefold

In spring 2020, socioeconomically disadvantaged students saw 50% larger losses than others. Where are they in spring 2021 after a second school closure?

+-0% – The family background gap in learning loss closed

25% larger – The family background gap in learning loss decreased somewhat

50% larger – The family background gap in learning loss remained constant

75% larger – The family background gap in learning loss increased somewhat

100% larger – The family background gap in learning loss increased a lot
