The Covid19 Pandemic saw the greatest disruption to traditional schooling since world war two? How has this affected childrens’ learning? What about their social development and well being? And are teachers ok? Despite our worst fears, the good news is that literacy and numeracy has largely stayed on track. Research also shows that students from disadvantaged backgrounds didn’t fall further behind academically due to extra funding support.
In this episode we meet a mother of six who juggled working from home and learning from home during lockdown. We speak to Professor Jenny Gore from the University of Newcastle about her research on the surprising academic outcomes during Covid and we talk to Malcolm Elliot from the Australian Primary Principals Association about student well-being.
