Exploring the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on learners in Wales

Submitted by admin on
Abstract

This research study was commissioned in June 2020 towards the end of the initial period of national lockdown caused by the increasing spread of the Covid-19 virus. At the time, there was little, if any, indication that there would be further period(s) of national lockdown as a result of the pandemic. [...] The study collected data that pertains to the experiences of learning during the initial lockdown period (lockdown 1, March 2020 – June 2020) and the phased re-opening of schools (June - July 2020). To a lesser extent, data also pertains to the period of schools being open (September – December 2020 during which time schools isolated classes, year groups and individuals as a result of a positive covid-19 case), and the second period of national lockdown (from January 2021). The period of data collection was one involving fast-moving changes in provision for learning across our education system. The data provide snapshots from stakeholders in schools (learners, parents, teachers, and leaders) that exemplify a wide variety of experiences of learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.
