Dublin, Sept. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "PreK-12 Enrollment & Demographics, 2021-2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

PreK-12 Enrollment & Demographics, 2021-2022 provides data about the PreK-12 student population in the U.S., including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on where students are being educated.

COVID-19 has upended the U.S. educational system, including the number of children enrolled in school and where and how those children are learning.

"Disenrollment, where children are missing from school whether it is in-person or virtual, is a pandemic phenomenon with implications for children, families, school systems and society," said Kathy Mickey, managing editor and senior analyst. "As traditional education broke down, we are seeing growing interest in charter schools, virtual schools and homeschooling."

Looking forward, another challenge to public schools and the funding they receive will be birthrates, which were declining in the U.S. prior to COVID-19, with the pandemic projected to contribute to a further dip.

Most children will return to in-person education at some location this fall. They will bring with them more technology devices distributed during the pandemic, possibly more facility with technology-based learning, but also learning gaps for educators to address.
