Abstract

. The school closure for over a year due to covid pandemic strikes has forced more than 1.6 billion students worldwide to switch their learning process into distance learning. This unprecedented event results in some setbacks in the learning process, and among the detrimental effects is learning loss. This bibliographic review aimed to compare the degree of learning loss due to the covid pandemic in several places worldwide and evaluate what it means for the learning situation and progress in Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (ENT). From this study, we found a massive learning loss during the learning-from-home setting for students in many places around the world, including Indonesia. The degree could be varied depending on the way the learning process is conducted. By reflecting on the learning loss-related research from places worldwide, learning loss has the potential to be more detrimental for students in Manggarai since the infrastructure to support remote learning is not adequate enough and not equally distributed. This situation leads to only a limited number of learning instructions that can be applied to support the instruction. Therefore, this paper recommended a more empirical research to measure the magnitude of learning loss in Manggarai while also taking some mitigation strategies to deal with the possible loss
