64 percent of parents overwhelmed by home school
An investigation carried out in Portugal, Spain and France to study the patterns and habits of students during lockdown, has revealed that 64 percent of parents were overwhelmed with schoolwork.
Researchers from the Universities Nova de Lisboa, Granada (Spain), Lille (France) and the Spanish Institute of Health Carlos III analysed the routines and interaction of students between 3 and 16 years old and their families during the first lockdown caused by the pandemic, that started in these three countries almost a year ago.
Through an online survey in which almost 3,900 households from the three countries participated, the ‘Covideducasa’ project, which is still ongoing, seeks to understand the impact of confinement and non-classroom teaching on Portuguese, Spanish and French families, the majority of whom were deemed as being middle class.
