AI Summary
This bill, the Global Learning Loss Assessment Act of 2021, directs the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to submit a report to Congress on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on USAID's basic education programs in low- and middle-income countries. The report must include assessments of the magnitude of learning loss from school closures, the effectiveness and reach of distance learning, efforts to adapt education programs during the pandemic, and plans to prevent further degradation of these programs and support safe school reopenings, learning assessments, and education system strengthening. The bill also establishes a policy for U.S.-funded basic education programs to provide inclusive learning opportunities, build local capacity, improve equity and safety, and support the return of children to school.
