Education Endowment Foundation

EEF publishes new research on the impact of COVID on learning

New research finds children’s literacy and maths skills, communication and language, physical development, and personal social and emotional development have all been affected.

The Education Endowment Foundation is an independent charity dedicated to breaking the link between family income and educational achievement. We do this by supporting schools to improve teaching and learning through better use of evidence.
