While many educators found unique and innovative ways to deliver remote and engaging instruction to their students, the majority of teachers responding to a McKinsey survey said virtual learning over the past year is “a poor substitute” for in-person learning.
The survey, which details learning loss on a global level, asked teachers in eight countries to rate how effective remote learning was when it first began–the average score was 5 out of 10, but it’s worth noting that teachers in Japan and the U.S. doled out lower grades, with almost 60 percent rating remote learning between a 1 and a 3 out of 10.
