Abstract

Project description Due to the corona crisis, all schools were closed on March 16, 2020, forcing schools to organize distance learning. This modified way of working may have had a negative impact on the learning process and learning outcomes of students, especially in the area of ​​reading skills. It is also possible that this negative influence is greater for certain groups of pupils than for other pupils, which further increases the inequality of opportunities. This research project will map out the extent to which target group students from the educational disadvantage policy are hit extra hard by the corona measures and what lessons can be learned for future, comparable situations.
