Abstract

The relationship between the cultural and material resources of the family background and the learning and school performance of children is well known. The social selectivity of the return on education increases to the extent to which it is dependent on private support. In the current crisis situation and due to the closing of schools, a "privatization" of the learning performance is taking place to a previously unknown extent. As part of this research project, teaching and learning achievements as well as support from the home environment are to be assessed primarily for Vienna in this particular situation. The aim is not only to empirically analyze known structures of disadvantage, but to show potentials and strategies for resilience through case studies.
