Education management at primary education during the Covid-19 crisis from the perspective of families (La gestión académica de los centros de Educación Primaria durante la pandemia de Covid-19 desde el punto de vista de las familias)

ABSTRACT The Covid-19 crisis has affected education management, and now, family members must accomplish tasks previously performed by the school. This study aims to examine it in primary education from the perspective of 638 families with children at that level. It uses a quantitative methodological approach. Results show that most families have maintained their already established work routines. However, families must now combine them with the supervision of the children’s school tasks, which falls mainly to mothers, regardless of their working situation. However, a significant number of families are not attending to their children’s school tasks adequately, which could lead to severe inequalities in the education field. This situation offers an opportunity to establish fairer and more balanced strategies and synergies.
