During the Covid-19 pandemic

The purpose of this study conducted by Kosova Center for Distance Education was to quantify the effects of the gender gap between students in Kosova who did not continue their education through distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Key findings of this research:

  • Approximately 5 percent, or 8,414 out of 180,469 of the registered students in both primary and secondary schools from 12 municipalities in Kosova were reported to have missed online school during Covid-19 between March and June 2020.
  • The percentage of students who did not resume their online education during the pandemic was noticeably higher in the minor municipalities than in the major municipalities.
  • The gender gap in the major municipalities was around 1 percentage point in disfavor of boys. Meaning that boys' attendance in distance education was one percent less than girls.
