Consequences and opportunities of COVID-19 for primary schools and their students

What does the COVID-19 crisis mean for primary school students? What does it mean for their performance and well-being? Are vulnerable groups of students experiencing problems and are there groups of students who have actually benefited? And what do we learn about effective distance learning? This project will answer these questions by mapping the consequences of the COVID19 crisis on primary school students. The project is a unique co-creation of the Education-Lab NL, the National Cohort Research (NCO) of NRO, Maastricht University, the Education Inspectorate, primary schools and the municipality of Amsterdam. With the project we build a bridge between science and educational practice, with the aim of helping vulnerable groups of students. In the coming months, the project will provide toolkits for schools, information about the consequences for students and insight into effective forms of distance learning.
