In March 2020, schools in France closed for two months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using data from national assessments, we measure impact of this unprecedented crisis on learning 800,000 students who were first grade during school closures. We show that students' progress dropped after lockdown by 10% standard deviation a normal year mathematics, and even more dramatically French with decrease 15% deviation. The exacerbated pre-existing inequalities since disadvantaged most affected. also find effects are particularly strong domains where plays fundamental role reducing social early learning, namely reading writing.

Background/Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected children’s lives, particularly preschool-aged children who undergo rapid biological and psychosocial development. This study aimed to investigate the effects of on language skills preschool in Greece. Methods: To that end, a widely used screening tool was applied project involving 213 preschoolers. Language assessed three groups aged 2–4 years old before, during after pandemic. Results: A significant increase number with atypical profile identified relation preschoolers versus those before or period. higher prevalence profiles observed girls than boys. Interestingly, an successfully produced repeated words pseudowords, along enhanced expressive abilities, compared periods after. Conclusions: Given importance development as critical aspect overall personality well-being, further research is needed explore impact specific pandemic-related factors competency. These include mask-wearing, increased screen time, reduced social interaction exposure language-rich environments, well impaired mental health parental distress. Additionally, personalized interventions should be developed support healthier developmental outcomes.

Our analysis utilises an innovative dataset that combines administrative data standardised tests grades 5 8 with a specifically-designed survey collects information about teachers' practices between February June 2020. Firstly, by employing multilevel (mixed-effects) model, we estimate extent learning loss examine its variability for students primary middle levels year 2020/21. The findings confirm has been considerable (between 0.05 0.27 SD) although heterogeneity disciplines exists - higher English grade 5, mathematics reading 8. Secondly, as main contribution paper, explore mechanisms behind substantial differences observed which can be explained ability teachers using digital tools evaluating their students, well leadership role exerted principals.

This is especially urgent for countries with most severe closure, like Italy. systematic review aims to collect opinions parents, teachers, students on: other dimensions Italian primary by closures, beyond academic performance; hypothetical agreement between regarding different students; possible differences in countries. Our search was conducted using PRISMA 2020 guidelines Web Science, Pubmed, Scopus, EBSCOHost. results obtained 34 articles revealed strong concern part all stakeholders involved during pandemic, evident negative students. constraint distance led drastic change everyone’s routine, emotional young Parents teachers generally considered be ineffective education their children they encountered technical-practical difficulties use electronic devices participation activities; overall deficits students, mathematics, as confirmed INVALSI were also found. investigation reveals condition shared performance difficulty, further challenging circumstance previously at risk marginalization.

Introduction This study examines the social impact and psychological effects of COVID-19 pandemic on growth adolescents students, aged 11–13, well-being learning. Methods Said review, therefore, will consider all report scientific works published since 2020 following platforms: SCOPUS, PsycoInfo, Web Science. Specifically, research has selected studies concerning students 11–13. Furthermore, authors have restricted scope to two fundamental aspects above-mentioned subjects, such as their physical didactic learning pandemic. The justification for choosing themes lies in fact that SARS-CoV-2 ensuing measures adopted curb its spread had -and very likely continue having- sizable repercussions life each individual, especially considered, whose been considerably affected. Results In particular, during peak subsequent phases, various issued limit contagion completely compromised disregarded rights children youngsters. Suddenly, leisure, sport, play, relations, socialization disappeared from lives. Besides, early stages pandemic, remote teaching replaced face-to-face teaching, later become an intermittent system red- orange-labelled areas country. Consequently, severely limited opportunities learning, growth, curiosity creating relationships are typical both a school outside environment. Concerning subjects review target literature indicates wide range disorders, malaise, eating sleep addiction games, internet, alcohol, drugs. For what regards, instead, realm most highlight diminished performance main implication teaching. remarkable number reveals substantial inequalities; specifically, coming middle class families managed maintain higher quality educational standards critical context while those socially disadvantaged fewer terms time experiences (due lack electronic devices, Internet connectivity, homework, continuity after-school activities). summary, if pre-COVID-19 already presented significant limitations ability reduce existing inequalities, closures lockdowns pose enormous challenges developing effective policies compensate losses inequalities. Discussion Therefore, based results shown, necessity arises emergency plan with objectives restore social, emotional, cognitive abilities compromised. general, it is responsibility countries governments guarantee right education these difficult times, avoiding any type inequalities establishing digital system, allows face situations generated by Coronavirus, thus preventing serious anxiety stress affected subjects.
