Abstract

Since last March, when schools started shutting down and transitioning to remote learning, we’ve been worried about students losing touch with the educational system.1 Those concerns now appear to have been well founded. While we don’t yet have data at the national level, most states have reported declining public school enrollment in the fall of 2020. In addition, students who are enrolled may be less engaged, and we’ve also seen a decline in the number of students making the important jump from high school to college: The pipeline to higher education, and thus to the workforce, is leaking.
