“…Second, while anecdotal evidence suggests that school closures have reduced labor force participation, the research evidence thus far does not find much support for this situation. Third, the limited research evidence does; however, suggest the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively affecting students' academic performance (Hinrichs, 2021).…”

It was decided by the government of Pakistan to close all educational institutions on 13th March, 2020 and all citizens were strictly advised to remain at their homes to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the country. Due to the global pandemic, it was hypothesized that it would have a negative impact on K-12 students in their annual examinations of 2020 in science, mathematics, and technology subjects. There was constant hike in the COVID-19 cases and due to lack of technological resources in Pakistan, the country has been facing very difficult time since pandemic, especially in the area of STEM education. The data was collected from three teachers at a government secondary school in Malakand District Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan. These teachers were specialized in mathematics, natural sciences and technology respectively. The researcher gathered insight of teachers on the possible effects of COVID-19 on the performance of students in their respective subjects by using a semi-structured interview technique. The study unveiled that if the COVID-19 epidemic persisted for a long time, it is possible that the proportion of the secondary school students in the annual examinations would be decreased due to the disturbed academic calendar of schools. Keywords: COVID-19, STEM Subjects, Mathematics Education, Pakistan Education

This Economic Commentary surveys research on COVID-19 in relation to education in the United States. It is a companion to an earlier survey (Hinrichs, 2021) and focuses on the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic that might persist even after life has returned to a relative normal. The evidence suggests that the pandemic led to lower enrollment at public schools and negatively impacted student learning.

This Economic Commentary surveys research on COVID-19 in relation to education in the United States. It is a companion to an earlier survey (Hinrichs, 2021) and focuses on the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic that might persist even after life has returned to a relative normal. The evidence suggests that the pandemic led to lower enrollment at public schools and negatively impacted student learning. In addition, teacher turnover did not rise at the beginning of the pandemic, but it has risen in the years since.

“…An expanding literature also examines the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on K-12 schooling, showing that it changed the demand for different types of schooling environments(Chatterji and Li 2021;Musaddiq et al 2021;Bacher-Hicks, Goodman, and Mulhern 2021), reduced academic achievement(Azevedo et al 2021;Bailey et al 2021;Kilbride et al 2021), and reduced bullying(Bacher-Hicks et al 2022). SeeHinrichs (2021) for a review of the literature on COVID-19 and schooling.7 In the K-12 sector there is evidence that under certain conditions, in-person schooling led to more COVID-19 spread relative to remote schooling(Courtemanche et al 2021;Ertem et al 2021;Goldhaber et al 2020;Harris, Ziedan, and Hassig 2021).8 See HodgeJr and Gostin (2001) for a history of school-based vaccine mandates.…”
