Millions of U.S. high school students who entered ninth grade during the pandemic are facing significant learning loss, with little hope of recovery as schools were shut. The decline in math and reading skills has been unprecedented, with American students lagging behind global peers. The OECD reported that pandemic-related school closures only partly contributed to the decline. The situation has led to empty classrooms in many public schools. The impact of the pandemic on education has been widespread, with students globally experiencing historic setbacks in test scores.
