This paper reports on findings arising from a broader study focusing on teachers’ perceptions of the recovery of lost learning during the pandemic. Data are drawn from a survey using an online questionnaire. In total, 2,192 educators and teachers from all sectors of education participated. The wider study aimed at analysing teaching during the pandemic, including the two lockdowns and the return to schools with sanitary measures. It also looked at the impact of the pandemic on pupils’ learning. The participants claim that the pandemic led to lost learning which has affected particularly pupils from more vulnerable socio-economic contexts. Findings also point to the lack of an explicit monitoring scheme and a certain anomie, visible in the discrepancy between adherence to and implementation of measures for recovering of lost learning. Moreover, despite the scope of the actions put into place, there is no clear articulation with the schools’ educational projects, and this is associated with a short-term vision with a diffuse intentionality.
