Research area(s)

Ammal's MA dissertation research study describes and outlines the impact COVID-19 had inflicted on the attainment of disadvantaged pupils. It also explored the continuing decline in the disadvantage gap, which had been exacerbated due to the pandemic.

The goal of the study was to understand the lived experiences of teachers working at the coalface during the pandemic. The use of intersectionality as a theoretical framework for the study further enabled the analysis of the categories of: gender; class; race; and language in relation to educational inequality.
