Data from the National Centre for Education Statistics, a federal body, showed that 98% of public schools were teaching all lessons in-person by June 2022. But covid has left its mark on children’s education.

They found that, on average, pass rates rose in the latest batch of tests, taken in the spring of 2022, by just over a percentage point for English and nearly five percentage points for maths . If test results continue to improve at this pace, it will be another four years before pupils achieve the same results as before the pandemic for English and almost two more years for maths.
