Over the last few weeks @TheCFEY has been working with @UniofExeter to explore the effect of school closure during #COVID19 on students, parents and teachers. We've gathered thousands of personal reflections from the front line. Here are some emerging headlines (1/14):
When schools reopen, 21% of parents we surveyed would choose to educate their children at home part time, if they were paid to do it (2/14)
Over half of teachers we surveyed feel that their experience of off-site teaching will have a positive impact on their teaching once schools reopen (3/14)
Most teachers we surveyed think that school closures will have a negative or very negative impact on pupil wellbeing and safety (4/14)
Teachers are concerned about the impact of school closure on vulnerable young people who do not have safe home environments (5/14)
Parents we surveyed feel the balance of responsibility for children's education has shifted since schools closed (6/14)
Most parents we surveyed are aiming to provide continuity with their child's previous school or college education. Others are aiming to provide their children with a broader education, while some see their role as keeping their children busy until schools reopen (7/14)
Students are concerned about the uncertainty surrounding their grades, and the impact this could have on their future plans (8/14)
Parents of children with SEND are concerned about how the loss of routine, and reduced access to support, is impacting on their children (9/14)
Many parents are enjoying the chance to spend more time with their children, but they are also feeling tired, stressed and anxious about their ability to juggle work, home schooling, and their own needs (10/14)
Teachers are supporting home learning in a range of ways, but there are limits to what they can do (11/14)
Some students are feeling less anxiety and stress now that their schools have closed (12/14)
Students described the current situation in a range of ways. Many are finding it boring and repetitive, but some are also finding it relaxing (13/14)
We're now analysing sub-groups, looking at some of the more significant findings, like the link between parents' level of education and their confidence with home schooling. We're publishing more detailed findings in the coming weeks. See http://exeter.ac.uk/socialmobility for more (14/14)
