Abstract

Lots of research has been published about the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on education. However, little is known about the challenges that teachers in Ireland faced during the first lockdown and after the schools reopened, which is what the current report aimed to address. A total of 404 teachers from primary and post-primary schools in Ireland were surveyed six months after the first national lockdown. The results indicated that teachers have had different challenges at various stage of working during the pandemic. Also, despite experiencing more stress and lower levels of wellbeing, 4 out of 5 teachers experienced a positive transformation, which may last post-Covid. The report provides details of the findings, as well as implications for educational practice in Ireland.
