Overview
due to COVID-19 School closures due to COVID-19 have had a significant impact on students and families. Schools around the world have closed their doors as a preventive measure against the spread of the virus. School closures have caused an interruption to the education of millions of children and young adults, with increased reliance on virtual learning, and have impacted the economic livelihoods of families due to the lack of remote working options or child care services. It has been widely noted that the unequal access to digital platforms and resources has led to the widening of the educational gap between the most privileged and disadvantaged students. School closures have also had an effect on the mental health of students, with reduced access to physical spaces, social contacts, and activities. School closures due to COVID-19 are a temporary solution to an unprecedented global health crisis, and the impact of school closures on academic and social-emotional development, as well as on the economy, will be felt for years to come.
