Only a third of senior high-school students enjoyed their learning in last year's Covid-disrupted year, new research shows.
The Education Review Office (ERO) surveyed students at 67 schools nationally just after Auckland's August lockdown and
found that 65 per cent of primary school students in Years 4 to 8 agreed that "I am enjoying my learning".
But the numbers "enjoying my learning" dropped to just 39 per cent in the first two years at high school, Years 9 and 10, and 33 per cent in Years 11 to 13.
