APAC: duration of coronavirus-related school closures by country 2021

As of February 2021, there were 216 days of full school closures due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Myanmar, more than in any other country in the Asia-Pacific region. With a total of 281 days, India had the highest amount of full and partial school closures in that same period. Countries with comparatively longer school closures such as Myanmar, Indonesia, and the Philippines performed rather poorly in a survey on satisfaction rate with local education conducted in 2020 and early 2021.

Supplementary notes

According to the source, partial school closures are an arrangement in which public schools are kept open for grade levels with important exams, namely the highest grades of primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary school. Additionally, some schools implemented a student rotation system. Thus, it is assumed that all students except for those in the previously mentioned grades are affected by partial lockdowns.
