Researchers are seeking to understand how the COVID-19 school closures have affected educators, families, and children and what steps governments, schools and local authorities can take to improve the current situation for those impacted by school closures. These surveys are part of different research initiatives looking into these issues.
For educators and administrators
University of Glasgow – Teachers’ responses to COVID-19
Researchers at the University of Glasgow are gathering information to help inform the development of an Action Research Network to address the issues raised in responses to this survey. In participating, your voice as an educator will be centred in future initiatives to address future challenges related to COVID-19. Findings will also be submitted to the House of Commons Education Select Committee on the impact of COVID-19 on education and children’s services. The survey asks about your experiences of teaching and supporting students online, your hopes, concerns and expectations for the future of education in the UK.
