Eurydice publishes two new articles, on teaching and home schooling

Focus on: Is teaching a high-paying career?

The current health crisis has posed unprecedented challenges to education. Teachers in Europe played an essential role in organising and ensuring home schooling and the safe return to schools, despite often lacking support and resources. Teachers’ skills and dedication are also indispensable in normal times if children are to achieve their full potential. But, is their pay competitive enough to attract and retain the best-qualified graduates, and maintain their commitment to quality teaching?

Focus on: Is home-schooling during the pandemic exacerbating gender inequalities?

Have parents achieved a better work-life balance through the pandemic?

Is the time spent on childcare equally distributed between mothers and fathers?

Do women have to put their careers on hold to home-school?
