Results: The results showed that the loss learning recovery significant difference with marital status of parents and family income. The group of parents who had marital status of married had the higher loss learning recovery than divorced as well as the group of low income family had the lowest loss learning recovery.
Conclusions: It is necessary to understand the characteristics of the student in primary school. Especially factors that affect the loss learning recovery for build education systems back better and found to support them in every manner so that their learning can resume normally and advance past what was lost.
