England: Turbulent Years—PISA 2022 and COVID-19 School Disruption
摘要
Like many nations, England suffered a decline in scores in PISA in 2022, following important improvement. It declined less than the other nations of United Kingdom, which are in different stages of curriculum renewal and development. This chapter examines key events in England's experience of COVID-19. It explores the nature and extent of COVID-19 impact in England and compares outcomes with other key nations. It suggests that there is strong, continuing and complex COVID-19 impact on education and this is likely to continue into the 2030's. It examines how this poses a highly distinctive public policy challenge which so far has been underestimated with inadequate remedy.
