PIRLS 2021 International Results in Reading

Title: PIRLS 2021 International Results in Reading 

Author: TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center 

Publisher: Boston College 

Year: 2023 

Format: PDF 

Description:
Results from an international study conducted every five years indicate a reduction in reading achievement among fourth grade students following the pandemic in 21 of the 32 countries in which a comparison is possible with the previous study in 2016.* The study also links the results with a number of indicators, including socioeconomic status, literacy activities before starting school, school climate, and student attitudes toward reading.  

*While the study is recognized as very reliable, the authors caution prudence when interpreting the 2021 results due to the exceptional nature of the pandemic and the variation in measures put in place to counter it. Moreover, comparison of results for countries and provinces that, like Quebec, have postponed the 2021 evaluation to grade 5, is treated separately.

Returning to Normal? Overcoming Vulnerabilities in an Education System Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Title: Returning to Normal? Overcoming Vulnerabilities in an Education System Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic (Report on the State and Needs of Education 2020-2021) [Summary]

Author: Conseil supérieur de l’éducation

Publisher: Conseil supérieur de l’éducation

Year: 2021

Format: PDF

Description:

« The Conseil’s full Report on the State and Needs of Education entitled Revenir à la normale? Surmonter les vulnérabilités du système éducatif face à la pandémie de COVID-19 [Returning to Normal? Overcoming Vulnerabilities in an Education System Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic] begins with a brief overview of existing research on the effects of past pandemics and other causes of disruptions to the normal school year that could shed light on the current one. It then presents an analytical framework to examine the education system’s response to the pandemic and its impacts using crisis management theory and the construct of resilience. The latter demonstrate that knowing where vulnerabilities lie is key for an organization’s ability to adapt and be resilient when faced with adversity. A cross reference of the statements submitted by the organizations with the Conseil’s own published opinions forms the core of the report, uncovering not only the vulnerabilities in the education system, but any lessons that can be drawn to minimize them. The Conseil then concludes by proposing three broad guidelines that could steer several courses of action to swiftly address the negative impacts of the pandemic on education in Québec and make the education system more resilient over the long term. » (Excerpt from the summary)
