This fact sheet from OELA explores the learning opportunities offered to ELs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data is based on the School Survey Dashboard, which includes information on students in Grades 4 and 8. In January 2021, 62% of Grade 8 ELs were enrolled in remote instruction—a higher percentage than all students in Grade 8 (48%), Grade 4 ELs (52%), and all students in Grade 4 (43%). From January to May 2021, ELs and all students experienced a decrease in remote learning as more students transitioned to hybrid and in-person instruction.
