COVID’s lasting impact on education

Jurisdiction: New South Wales


What impact has COVID had on student educational outcomes (for example retention/enrolment rates, HSC completions and more)? What lessons can we learn to minimise the impact on education for future pandemics?

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on education in New South Wales (NSW). Schools and universities were forced to close or switch to online learning for extended periods of time, disrupting the education of millions of students. The impact was felt across the entire education system, from early childhood education to tertiary education. Your project should use data to explore the various ways that the COVID-19 pandemic affected education in NSW.
