Following the unprecedented disruption to the academic year in 2020, Ministries of Education across Europe are facing the same significant challenge: how to understand and address the learning loss caused by COVID-19.
As the first western European country to face a nationwide lockdown at the onset of the pandemic, Italy encountered unique challenges and uncertainties in how to address and reduce the resulting learning loss. Ultimately, working with TAO, INVALSI has been able to develop a plan of action that can serve as a model for other European Ministries grappling with the aftermath of school closures and testing cancellations.
Find out how Ministry of Education officials in Italy are responding to the massive learning disruption caused by COVID-19, and reinventing their testing procedures to measure student progress in a hybrid remote learning environment. Fill out the form to the right to download the case study!
