10/03/2023 (Agence Europe) – The European Commission published, on Wednesday 8 March, a report on the impact of the pandemic on education. Unsurprisingly, Member States that have experienced long school closures and have less digital use in schools were more affected. In addition, socio-economically disadvantaged students suffered greater learning losses. The report therefore makes a series of recommendations, in particular the introduction of compensatory measures for the most affected students, more investment in the quality of education and the establishment of systems for monitoring and assessing policies. The study was carried out by the European Expert Network on Economics of Education (EENEE), an Erasmus+ funded institute which supports the Commission in analysing the economic aspects of education policies.
