Educação e capacidades

Educação builds the capabilities people need to lead lives they value: literacy, numeracy, skills and the confidence to participate. Many children attend school without learning foundational skills, and crises close schools and push children out. This page sets out how learning happens and is disrupted, how access and learning are measured, and what evidence serves the education authorities and agencies responsible.

Education and capabilities on the record.

02A pergunta

Education and capabilities: how the risk develops.

Learning inequality and societal opportunity. The dossier below sets out how the risk develops, what is measured, where the data come from, how it is modelled and who decides.

Mecanismo

Schooling is not learning

Enrolment has risen widely, but many children leave primary school unable to read a simple text. Foundational learning is the core gap.

Mecanismo

Lost learning compounds

Children who fall behind early struggle to catch up, and school closures in crises widen gaps that persist.

Mecanismo

Barriers differ by group

Poverty, gender norms, disability, displacement and language keep particular groups out of school or learning less.

Mecanismo

Schools need protection

Attacks on schools, disasters and use of schools as shelters interrupt education; safe school planning reduces disruption.

10Mecanismos

Learning, disruption and capability.

Enrolment has expanded widely, but many children in school do not acquire foundational literacy and numeracy. Learning gaps follow income, gender, disability, language and location. Crises widen them: school closures interrupt learning and nutrition programmes, damaged buildings take time to rebuild, and the children most affected are usually those already behind. Learning losses can persist into adulthood as lower skills and earnings.

Educação also builds resilience. Educated households tend to have better health, more diversified livelihoods and greater ability to use warnings and information. In the capability approach, education expands the real freedoms people have to choose how to live. Skills sistemas shape whether workers can adapt as technology and alterações climáticas alter labour markets.

Gender shapes these effects. In many settings girls are more likely to be withdrawn from school during economic stress or displacement, and to face early marriage, while boys may be pulled into work; recovery measures that ignore these differences leave gaps that persist into adulthood.

11Métodos e dados

Evidence on learning.

Avaliação

Learning assessments

Standardised and household-based assessments measure what children learn; comparability across sistemas is limited.

Admin data

Registros escolares

Enrolment, attendance and infrastructure data from education systems; quality varies.

Avaliação

Impact studies

Evaluations of remedial learning, school feeding and distance learning; effects depend on context.

Limits: out-of-school and displaced children are often missing from data, and short-term test results capture only part of what education provides.

14Perguntas

Perguntas e respostas.

What is learning poverty?
The share of ten-year-old children unable to read and understand a simple text, combining out-of-school children and those in school who are not learning.
What is the capability approach?
A view of development, associated with Amartya Sen, that focuses on people’s real freedoms to be and do what they value, such as being educated and healthy.
How do crises affect education?
They close or damage schools, displace children and teachers, and push families to withdraw children, causing learning losses that persist.
Does the platform design curricula?
No. It studies learning inequality and the effects of crises on education. Curricula belong to education authorities.
Can remote learning replace schools in a crisis?
It can reduce losses where connectivity, devices and support exist, but evidence shows it often widens gaps for those without them.
Why is education a risk topic?
Because it shapes how people prepare for, understand and recover from shocks, and because crises can cause lasting learning losses.
