We looked at pandemic-related K-12 education issues as part of GAO's work on the effects of COVID-19.

Our reports discuss the results of our national survey of K-12 public school teachers and our discussion groups with teachers, principals, and parents. We asked for their perspectives on how the pandemic affected their students during the 2020-21 school year.

This product provides a technical discussion of how we performed this work, and the results of the teacher survey.
