Only a third of senior high-school students enjoyed their learning in last year s Covid-disrupted year, new research shows. The Education Review Office (ERO) surveyed students at 67 schools nationally just after Auckland s August lockdown and found that 65 per cent of primary school students in Years 4 to 8 agreed that I am enjoying my learning .
But the numbers enjoying my learning dropped to just 39 per cent in the first two years at high school, Years 9 and 10, and 33 per cent in Years 11 to 13.
