The Nuffield Foundation has awarded NIESR a £500,000 grant over a three-year period to collect data on children's language and socio-emotional development from Reception through to Year 2, as well as comparing statutory assessment data for three years before, and three years following, the onset of Covid-19.
In addition, the project will collect teachers’ views on changes in the educational environment as a result of the pandemic. Parents will also be asked for their perspective on the impact of the Coronavirus crisis on their children’s development.
This study will combine qualitative and quantitative analysis and it aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the impact of Covid-19 on the early years of schooling, to inform future policy development.
