During the pandemic, the specifics of learning developed. Ball et al. argue that many children are being educated at a distance anyway, as the state does not have enough money or time to sort out the logistics. The paper concludes that without face-to-face education, the economy will remain stagnant, families will not receive crucial support, children will fall behind, and inequalities will deepen. The authors express their views and the views of states, experts, communities, and the parents of schoolchildren. It helps to look at education problems in terms of the pandemic from different perspectives, possible consequences, and solutions.
