The cost of school closures

The OECD (https://www.oecd.org/unitedkingdom) has estimated that school closures in the UK could mean that GDP takes a 1.5% hit for the rest of the century.

Although another example of “headlining” it does show why governments, not just in the UK but around the world, are so keen to keep schools open, especially in the difficult Autumn / Winter period.
