    Keywords: Access and Equity in Basic Education ; Education ; Education Reform ; Gender ; Primary Education ; Teacher Training
    Abstract: These remarks were delivered by World Bank Group President David Malpass at The State of Global Learning Poverty 2022 Update Report Launch on June 28, 2022. He said that the COVID-related school closures and disruptions have deepened the learning crisis and worsened inequalities in education. He highlighted that the World Bank estimates that the share of 10-year-old children in developing countries who are unable to read and understand a basic text is now at 70 percent. He insisted that it's urgent for political leaders to act decisively to recover and accelerate learning and avoid a human capital catastrophe. He suggested that they can do that by prioritizing four learning recovery strategies and investments: First, re-enroll and retain children in school; Second, focus on foundational learning; Third, assess students' learning levels; and Fourth, support teachers with the practical training and learning materials that are proven to help students recover lost learning rapidly. He mentioned that the World Bank is committed to working with partners in support of countries to achieve more equal, effective, and resilient education, particularly for girls. He concluded by saying that it's critical that children and youth of this generation have the opportunity to shape the future they deserve

    Abstract: These remarks were delivered by World Bank Group President David Malpass at the G20 Leaders' Summit in Bali Indonesia on November 15, 2022. He spoke about the developing world faces hunger, poverty, unsustainable debt, and learning poverty above 70 percent. Climate change makes all of these burdens worse. Farmers face droughts and floods. In poor countries, they face severe shortages of fertilizer and diesel. Underinvestment blocks access to electricity and clean water. Current global macro policies create a permanent drain on global capital, risking a long recession. The developing world needs much greater resources. The World Bank Group has achieved the largest increase in commitments in our history and greatly expanded trade finance. Regarding the debt crisis, it is urgent to create a more effective debt reduction process for low and middle-income countries that are in debt distress
