This paper provides some of the first experimental evidence on strategies to minimize the fallout of the pandemic on education outcomes. We evaluate two low-technology interventions to substitute schooling during this period: SMS text messages and direct phone calls. We conduct a rapid trial in Botswana to inform real-time policy responses collecting data at four- to six-week intervals. We present results from the first wave. We find early evidence that both interventions result in cost-effective learning gains of 0.16 to 0.29 standard deviations. This translates to a reduction in innumeracy of up to 52 percent. We find increased parental engagement in their child’s education and more accurate parent perceptions of their child’s learning. In a second wave of the trial, we provide targeted instruction, customizing text messages to the child's learning level using data from the first wave. The low-tech interventions tested have immediate policy relevance and could have long-run implications for the role of technology and parents as substitutes or complements to the traditional education system.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2020-08-12}, journal = {SSRN Electronic Journal}, author = {Angrist, Noam and Bergman, Peter and Brewster, Caton and Matsheng, Moitshepi}, month = jul, year = {2020}, note = {KerkoCite.ItemAlsoKnownAs: 10.2139/ssrn.3663098 2129771:37WVYGRH 2129771:3GGG8ENA 2129771:4XBSBHNZ 2129771:J8UCMIES 2129771:NQQA5HAW 2129771:U3ZVQN5U 2129771:ZAKRMJ4F 2405685:7YTYUC4P}, keywords = {Education, Human Capital, Technology, \_COVID\_DEAA-List, \_\_C:filed:1}, } @article{owusu-fordjour_impact_2020, title = {The {Impact} of {Covid}-19 on {Learning} - the {Perspective} of the {Ghanaian} {Student}}, volume = {0}, copyright = {Copyright (c) 2020 C.

The study employed a Descriptive survey design in which 11 items Likert-scale type of questionnaires was administered to 214 respondents mainly students in the second cycle and tertiary institutions of Ghana. The study employed simple random sampling technique in selecting the respondents for the study. The study revealed some challenges students encounter in the close down of schools due to the outbreak of the pandemic Covid-19: Students are unable to study effectively from the house thus, making the online system of learning very ineffective. Again, parents are incapable of assisting their wards on how to access online learning platform, neither can they entirely supervise the learning of their children at home without any complications. It came to light that the pandemic really has had a negative impact on their learning as many of them are not used to effectively learn by themselves. The e-learning platforms rolled out also poses challenge to majority of the students because of the limited access to internet and lack of the technical knowhow of these technological devices by most Ghanaian students. The study therefore recommends that students should be introduced to e-learning platforms to supplement classroom teaching and learning.  Article visualizations:}, language = {en}, number = {0}, urldate = {2020-08-12}, journal = {European Journal of Education Studies}, author = {Owusu-Fordjour, C. and Koomson, C.
