Global education deficit during pandemic

The World

There’s a global education crisis occurring right now. The pandemic inflicted a massive global education deficit on school-age children. A new study by researchers in France reported students lost a third of a year of schooling to the pandemic. The World’s Carol Hills spoke with Lawrence Aber, a professor of psychology and public policy at New York University, about the effects of the global education loss as well as what can be done to rectify the problem.
