If remote learning is allowed to become permanent, academic achievement losses will have “major impacts on future earnings and intergenerational mobility,” researchers concluded after examining testing data from students in 10,000 schools.
Using testing data from 2.1 million students in 10,000 schools in 49 states and Washington, D.C, researchers examined the role of remote and hybrid instruction in widening gaps in achievement — and crunched the results by race and school poverty. “We find that remote instruction was a primary driver of widening achievement gaps,” they said.
The report, which compared academic data from Fall 2019 to Fall 2020 with that from Fall 2017 to Fall 2019, also issued a stark warning against remote learning for children: “If allowed to become permanent, such losses will have major impacts on future earnings and intergenerational mobility,” the researchers concluded.
Public-health and education workers have long been concerned about the effects of school closures on children’s learning wellbeing, with education advocates asking early in the pandemic how children in poorer families could learn remotely when they don’t have computers, as some states rushed to increase supply.
