Meeting the Online Learning and Basic Needs of High School Students during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Insights in Education and Work

ACT, Inc.
At least 55 million students ended the 2019-2020 school year learning at home after approximately 124,000 public and private schools closed their doors due to the coronavirus. More recently, only a little over a third of students were in the classroom five days a week, with the remainder learning entirely or partially at home. At the end of the 2020 academic year, ACT wanted to learn more about students' online learning experiences during the first several months of the pandemic. Researchers sent an email in June to 130,000 students who had registered to participate in the April or June 2020 National administration of the ACT® test. A total of 7,800 students responded to the survey. Since so many students were learning remotely--most often, online--researchers asked students what they needed and wanted for that online learning to be successful. They also asked about other challenges the students might be experiencing during the global pandemic. This report discusses the findings of the study and provides recommendations for supporting teachers and ensuring all students have their basic needs met.
