VIRTUAL EVENT: COVID-19: School closures and educational inequality
07 Oct 2020, 13:00 – 14:00
In Spring 2020, governments around the globe shut down schools to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
Larissa Zierow and her colleagues conducted a study of over 1,000 parents in Germany, collecting detailed time-use information on school children before and during the COVID-19 school closures.
In this session, Larissa will explore the key findings of the survey such as the reduced learning times and the increase of educational inequality. She will discuss how schools dealt with this gap and how distance-teaching activities disproportionately reached high-achieving children.
