Abstract

The Coronavirus pandemic has caused the largest global disruption to world–wide education systems in history (Engzell et al., 2021; Pokhrel and Chhetri, 2021). It is estimated that around 1.6 billion children in more than 200 countries have experienced disruptions in their learning and teaching, with children in the early years to learners in higher education all being affected (UNESCO, 2020, Pokhrel and Chhetri, 2021). Pandemic school closures have altered the daily lives and routines of children, parents and their educators (Garbe, et al., 2020), with children and schools needing to rapidly adapt to new ways of learning, primarily in a distanced manner. This has seen the majority of children undertake learning within the home either through the online medium or via school–distributed paper packs, with parents and additional family members adopting or enhancing their roles as facilitators in their children’s learning (Garbe et al., 2020; Cullinane and Montacute, 2020).

Summary of Findings:
The findings are presented in six themes that were constructed from the data:
1. Missing and a sense of loss
2. The importance of family and the home
3. The importance and enjoyment of school
4. Remote learning through the -19 pandemic
5. Challenges of schooling between lockdowns
6. The future: longer term impacts and lessons learnt.
