Survey Results | What does Education look like before and after COVID?

We sought educators, parents, and students to contribute thoughts, experiences, and opinions on the education systems and processes through COVID-19.

Different people and different parts of the media state that some aspects of online learning aren’t working. We aimed to find out what’s working well across K-12 and tertiary, and primarily: what needs to be improved?

• Initial findings have 56.7% of educators reporting their teaching as more effective online compared to pre-covid. Surprisingly nearly 40% of educators surveyed report their online teaching skills as below average or novice.
• Findings show virtual learning still has some work to do to match face-to-face teaching with initial findings showing 34% of educators reporting their students are not engaged or have limited engagement in their learning online.
• We are aware special needs education has been even more challenging during Covid – for students, educators and parents. Current findings show only 5% of parents and 6% of students report that the support for special needs has been sufficient whilst learning online during Covid.
