Remote learning was even tougher for migrant parents. Here’s what they want schools to know in case lockdowns return

"When COVID forced school closures, many parents found themselves more involved
than ever with their children’s learning. For some parents, it was hard work
but broadly achievable. Many migrant parents, however, found themselves at a
distinct disadvantage.

Parental engagement is strongly linked to student learning outcomes.

With learn-from-home likely to return the next time there is a pandemic or
other emergency, it’s important we understand why many migrant families found
this mode of education delivery so incredibly challenging – and how the system
can be improved.

We interviewed 20 migrant parents from Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran,
Somalia, Sudan, and South Sudan who told us about the complex challenges they
faced during lockdowns."
