During the pandemic, school closures were implemented to limit the virus spread. Closing schools can have a large impact on students, leading to long-lasting consequences for society and the economy.

We will look at how closing schools limits the spread of COVID-19, analysing data on infections on schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and making a summary of previous studies on school closures. We will also investigate the effect for different vulnerable groups of closing schools on the educational performance of children, their transition to higher education and work, and the impact on mental wellbeing. Using all this information, we will weigh the economic costs and benefits. Finally, in a collaborative process with stakeholders we will translate our findings into recommendations regarding mitigation measures in schools in future pandemics.
