COVID-19 disrupted the educational process across the globe. The pandemic
provoked new challenges like school closures, the need to change instruction,
and a lack of digital trust. 

Governments and educators were quick to offer students a remote learning
alternative. Yet, the sector faced long-lasting consequences of the pandemic. 

The future of education started to depend on learning recovery programs and
education privacy laws. Blended models of education and adaptability became a
must. 

Now, we can take a closer look at the impact of COVID-19 on education. Let’s
explore academic achievement statistics, learning losses, and student privacy
protection offered by FERPA. 




ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS STATISTICS AFTER THE PANDEMIC

The recent years have been especially trying for students despite all the
efforts to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on education. Social isolation and
the prevalence of anxiety and depression have resulted in achievement drops.
Here is what statistics say.

 * McKinsey analyzed the learning outcomes of 1.6 million students across the
   US. Compared to pre-COVID years, they performed 9 and 10 points worse in
   reading and math, respectively. This sizable decrease is likely to have a
   long-term impact on student academic achievements. 
 * COVID-19 caused the dropout crisis. Think about it: 26.1% of college students
   enrolled in 2019 didn’t come back to college the next year. 
 * The pandemic effects on students were more severe in low-income schools.
   Since not all students had access to remote learning opportunities, learning
   gaps increased by 20% compared to low-poverty schools. Thus, the disruption
   caused by COVID-19 provoked a sharp increase in inequality in education. 




ESTIMATING LEARNING LOSSES CAUSED BY COVID-19

Remote learning was adopted as an alternative to traditional education. Yet, its
effectiveness was rather questionable, especially in countries with low and
middle income. 

This happened due to unequal access to learning resources and a lack of support
at home. As a result, COVID-19 took a toll on students’ academic performance. 

The extent of learning losses is still being calculated. It varies depending on
a subject, student’s age, gender, and socioeconomic status, among other
factors. 

How has COVID affected education? Students missed out on learning content they
could have mastered. For this reason so that to succeed in studying students had
to ask for help professional essay writing service, which could provide them
with any type of assignment. Moreover, a lack of clear curriculum strategy and
teacher support slowed down the initial transition. The necessary technology was
not always available too. 

Estimates showed that students missed about ten weeks of learning in the school
year of 2020-21. The World Bank calculated that it would cost students about $17
trillion in lifetime earnings.




PRIVACY OF STUDENT HEALTH RECORDS DURING COVID-19 

Schools have been struggling to protect student data while responding to cases
of infection. If a student has COVID-19, what information is appropriate to
share with the community to prevent the spread of the virus? 

Student education records, including health information, are under the
protection of federal student privacy laws like FERPA. But they have exceptions
when it comes to protecting the community in case of emergencies. 

A school may decide that disclosure is necessary to protect the health and
safety of the student body. Yet, even in such cases, the school administration
should only disclose the least required information. They don’t have to provide
identifiable details to address the issue. 

If you need any help on student privacy and confidentiality, you can get
guidance at the Privacy Technical Assistance Center run by the US Department of
Education. It also assists in the use of student data for parents. 




WHAT IS COPPA?

COPPA, or the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, is a federal law
that protects the privacy of children under 13 online. It was enacted as a
response to marketing strategies targeting minors. 

The law includes requirements for websites, apps, and other online services on
how to collect data and protect children’s safety. Under COPPA, if a website or
other online resource collects personal information of a child under 13, it must
get parental consent first. 



COPPA guidelines include: 

 * responsibilities of website owners regarding children’s privacy;
 * requirements for parental consent for collecting and using the information of
   young visitors;
 * transparent privacy policy;
 * data confidentiality. 

In education, the role of COPPA has become vital due to the digitalization of
learning. With the rapid growth of new learning platforms and apps, education
privacy laws ensure student safety online. 

Responsible use of technology in the classroom or remotely is also one of the
goals of COPPA. It helps educators choose tools that are safe for kids. 

Even though the act concerns website owners, teachers should be familiar with
COPPA meaning and its content. This way, they’ll make sure that the technology
they use in the educational process is designed with the needs of children in
mind. 




WHAT IS FERPA|SHERPA?

FERPA|Sherpa is a center that provides education privacy resources. It is named
after the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). Federal law
regulates access to a child’s education records. 

The U.S. Department of Education explains that FERPA grants parents control over
their child’s education records. They have the right to access, amend them, and
have a say in the disclosure of any identifiable information. Find the FERPA
statute at 20 U.S.C. § 1232g.



FERPA|Sherpa helps educators, parents, and students find up-to-date resources.
The privacy technical assistance center provides information on a wide scope of
issues:

 * federal and state laws that govern student privacy;
 * privacy rights of students and parents;
 * how to protect student privacy online;
 * how to choose appropriate and safe technology for learning; 
 * how to maintain transparent communication between schools and parents;
 * student data.




WHAT IS THE AUDIENCE OF FERPA SHERPA?

Due to the rapid advancement of technology and challenges like COVID-19, the
student privacy landscape is continuously evolving. The goal of FERPA|Sherpa is
to provide a unified resource where all stakeholders find answers to their
privacy-related questions. 

The audience of the center is diverse, and here’s why.

 * Teachers need to be well-versed in education privacy to inform instruction
   and ensure student safety.
 * Parents need to know how their children’s data is collected and maintained
   and what rights they have to their information. 
 * Students learn how their data may be used by others and what choices they can
   make to safeguard their privacy. 
 * Education technology vendors need Sherpa education resources to develop
   learning tools for students. They must observe laws and robust security
   standards.
 * Policymakers find out how to use data for better decision-making and
   efficiency of education. 
 * Lawyers use FERPA Sherpa resources to advise their clients and observe legal
   requirements. 
 * Local and state education agencies are responsible for developing and
   maintaining privacy practices. This involves creating security systems and a
   culture of privacy across schools. 
 * Post-secondary school officials collect student data on everything, from
   transcripts to employment information. After all, they need to know how to
   mitigate security risks. 




HOW DOES FERPA PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF STUDENT EDUCATION RECORDS? 

As a federal law, FERPA applies to student education records in any elementary,
secondary, and post-secondary school. Both public and private institutions are
subject to it. 

FERPA protects students’ personal information and health records maintained by
an educational institution. A school cannot disclose this information without
written consent from a parent. On the other hand, if a student is over 18 years
old or attends a post-secondary institution, they can agree or disagree. 

The law allows parents and eligible students to review the student’s education
records. Thus, it’s possible to request correcting inaccurate information. 

Yet, the general consent rule has exceptions when it comes to health
emergencies. Suppose that the safety or health of a student or other individuals
is in danger. In this case, a school can disclose FERPA-protected information if
it is necessary to prevent a threat without prior consent. 

Other examples of permitted disclosures under the FERPA regulations include 

 * legitimate educational interest; 
 * audit or evaluation purposes; 
 * compliance with a judicial order, etc. 

But even if the circumstances require disclosure of personal information from a
student’s education record, you should use your best judgment. In other words,
provide only the least of the data required to address the issue.




THE ROLE OF FERPA SHERPA IN PROTECTING STUDENT PRIVACY DURING COVID-19

COVID-19 is an example of a health and safety emergency that might require the
disclosure of student education records. But a school should be careful with the
information that it can and cannot share with the community. 

Here’s what you should know to ensure FERPA compliance.

 * When a school shares that a student has COVID-19, it should not provide any
   identifying information about that person. Yet, it may notify individuals who
   had been in contact with the infected person.
 * FERPA does not include personal observations. So, a teacher disclosing that a
   student looks sick does not violate it. Still, they should consider potential
   harms that can follow identifying a student. 
 * It might happen that a student is suspected of having COVID-19, but a school
   cannot contact their parents to confirm it. In this case, the school
   administration may reach out to the student’s primary care physician. The
   physician may not disclose information under the Health Insurance Portability
   and Accountability Act (HIPAA). But emergency situations are an exception. 
 * Schools may disclose non-identifying information from students’ records to
   local, state, or federal agencies. The purpose of using it is to address the
   COVID-19 outbreak. 

There are no FERPA breach notification requirements. However, a school must
mention the cases of data disclosure in a student’s education record.
