The Impact of COVID-19 on Science Education

Virtual Event

August 16, 2022 · 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

About the Program

How did the COVID-19 crisis affect science education across California’s K–12 districts? As schools recover from the pandemic, how can the state support equitable investments in science literacy? PPIC researchers will outline a new report, and a panel of national, state, and local experts will talk about the pandemic’s impact and discuss strategies for promoting science education moving forward.

This research and event are supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 2128789.
