Abstract

The COVID-19 crisis has had a major impact on the education of primary school students. The schools closed, education became digital and remote and pupils partly went to school. This project helps schools with promising interventions to remove the negative consequences of COVID19 for vulnerable groups of students. The project also charts the effects of COVID19 on the development of students in the Netherlands. Finally, we show which distance learning has proven to be the most effective for students.
