Summary of Bill HR 1500
Bill 117 hr 1500, also known as the Global Learning Loss Assessment Act of 2021, aims to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education worldwide. The bill seeks to establish a task force within the Department of Education to assess the extent of learning loss experienced by students in the United States and around the world due to the pandemic.
The task force would be responsible for conducting a comprehensive study to determine the academic, social, and emotional effects of the pandemic on students of all ages. This study would include an analysis of the disparities in learning loss among different demographic groups, as well as an assessment of the effectiveness of various remote learning strategies implemented during the pandemic.

These recommendations would include strategies for providing additional support to students who have fallen behind academically, as well as measures to prevent future learning loss in the event of future disruptions to education. Overall, the Global Learning Loss Assessment Act of 2021 seeks to provide policymakers with the information and tools necessary to address the educational challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed academically in the years to come.
