Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Schooling of Public and Private School Students in Pakistan
Ullah, Hazir; Ali, Johar
Education 3-13, v50 n8 p1085-1094 2022
More than 200 countries across the globe, including Pakistan, have closed educational institutions (schools, colleges, universities and "madrassas") to contain the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19 pandemic). These closures have disrupted the learning of more than 1.7 billion learners (representing 91 per cent of the total enrolled students) across the world. It attempts to critically examine how schools' closures in Pakistan perpetuate and reproduce inequalities in education. We have attempted to explore and explain inequalities in education during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and bring the issue of public school students' learning loss into public debate. The paper is based on qualitative primary data and is analysed and interpreted vis-à-vis the social reproduction theories. We deduce that unequal schools, unequal parenting and geographical location have further inflamed education inequalities in Pakistan during COVID-19 pandemic.
