The urgent worldwide shift of school education to online format resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic raised a number of problems of a technical, organizational, methodological, and psychological nature. These problems are surveyed by both the international community and national researchers. Equally important is the assessment of the consequences of education in a remote format for the quality of education and equal access to education. The article considers how the transition to remote education will affect the equity of access to quality education, differentiation of students’ educational results on a territorial and socio-economic basis. Analysis and evaluation were carried out using data collected before the mass transition to online learning: the results of the international survey of the quality of education PISA, surveys of the Federal State Statistics Service, and regular educational statistics. Differentiation of learning conditions, interregional variation, and differences in the ability of households to use ICT to participate in online learning are examined. Preliminary assessments of the impact of the transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic on strengthening differentiation of access to quality education and learning outcomes are made.

The Impact

Education is among the critical needs besides the food, shelter and clothing in modern life. Quality education is an effective tool for minimizing poverty and joblessness, enhancing health and dietary standards, and attaining lasting growth. Hence, the study sought to determine the impact of poverty on the quality of education in Haiti. The study was a literature review based. The conclusions were based on reviewing previous studies. The study findings indicated that poverty influences the quality of education. The study noted the significance of education in developing countries could not be overstated. Quality education can be the catalyst needed to pull families and communities out of the cycle of poverty. Knowledge gives children the power to dream of a better future and the confidence required to pursue a complete education, which will help generations to come. The study further ascertained that education makes a significant difference for adults, particularly in day-to-day life, including nutrition, healthcare and gender equity. The poverty levels are potent in influencing the quality of education that the students will receive in the long run. The study recommended adequate mechanisms to ensure the government support children from a poor background. Addressing the academic difficulties children from deprived families will undoubtedly need a broader and bolder method to education policy than the current initiatives to reform schools. The government should make sure that school-age children are enrolled right into compulsory and free primary education. Given that education is a powerful device for minimizing poverty and joblessness, enhancing health and dietary requirements, and attaining sustainable advancement, the Haitian government must inject much more revenue in the education sector, mainly for the poor children to obtain a quality education. The government is required to make sure all learners within its nation have access to education both in rural and in metropolitan places. Keywords: Poverty, Quality of Education, Haiti

The Impact

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of “Quality Education”, “Developing Better Social Skills”, “Homework  Assignment”, “Using Private Tutors”, “Charging School Fees” and “Nationality” on “Parental School Preference” using primary data collected from preparatory and secondary school teachers in Qatar. Methodology: The population for this study consists of all parents in Qatar. The current study used a very large stratified sample size n = 1462 that was determined by the Social and Economic Survey Research Institute (SESRI) using a 95% confidence interval estimate. The nine items used in this study are part of a huge questionnaire measuring attitude and parental child’s school preferences. Kaisers-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test and the Bartless test of sphericity were used to determine the appropriateness of using factor analysis. What are more; principal axis factoring and oblique rotation extracted three factors? Main findings: The representative sample Factor analysis extracted three dimensions (quality education, developing better social skills, homework assignment). The dependent variable (parental school choice) was regressed on the factor scores of these three extracted dimensions in addition to four independent variables (school fees, nationality, repeating a school grade, and parents’ disappointment if their child doesn’t go far in school). The results revealed that parental school choice is significantly determined by three explanatory variables: the quality of education, school fees, and nationality. Implications: Raising standards for teachers should be a key element in educational quality. What’s more, in the spirit of findings the policymakers in Qatar should make funding part of school fees for expatriates a priority. Novelty: This article empirically correlates two main fields of educational research:  Parental School Choice is given Quality of Education, Charging School Fees, and Nationality.
