Governments, educators, and parents must recognise and respond to the deep and lasting effects of pandemic disruptions on education.This research study delves into the impact of the massive COVID-19 education disruption on schooling across Canada and the collateral damage now affecting the pandemic generation of students. Approaching four years after the initial shock, the fallout from “education’s long COVID” lingers on in the form of measurable learning loss, stunted social development, and mental-health side effects. Widening knowledge gaps, and attendant problems such as increased school violence and chronic student absenteeism, cry out for more visible, effective, better-coordinated plans for learning recovery.
