The Impact of COVID-19 on Education: A Global Perspective
TL;DR Summary
The president of the American Federation of Teachers, Randi Weingarten, attributed the drop in math scores on the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) to the COVID-19 pandemic, despite her previous opposition to in-person learning. Weingarten had fought against reopening schools during the pandemic but now acknowledges the negative impact of remote learning on student performance. US math scores on the PISA exam fell by 13 points between 2018 and 2022. The National Education Association emphasized the need for increased investment in American education but did not directly mention the pandemic's influence on the results.
