Abstract

Long COVID, the long-lasting effects of COVID infection, has emerged as a global concern, especially among school-aged children. While its prevalence has been studied, it is critical to explore which long COVID symptoms impact children’s performance and to assess the role of school-based interventions and accommodations for these students. Therefore, this study aims to determine the prevalence and role of long COVID symptoms among school children, assess the necessity of school-based support and services, and identify the symptoms that prompt children to request such support. The study also seeks to raise awareness among parents and school authorities about the challenges faced by children with long COVID, thus addressing a gap in the existing literature.
