The research titled ‘The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Teachers’ was conducted by Turkish #Maarif Foundation in 25 countries across the #world to understand how the teachers and school administrators have been affected by the #pandemic. 
After analysing the responses, 5 main #themes emerged by how the teachers and school administrators react to the #Covid19 Pandemic, which changed the all #education. Here is the thread with the findings from the research, and more will be discussed at the #IstanbulEducationSummit
The coping strategy is the most dominant main theme used by the participants to manage the challenges faced during the #pandemic. There are also subthemes under the coping strategy such as turning into an opportunity, crisis management, #adaptation, #occupation, #solidarity, etc.
I found a lot of time for my #family and #children, because the life before the pandemic was taking us away from family life, a school administrator from #Sudan explained her situation during the #pandemic.
“We devoted ourselves to school renovation and repair works. We have prepared our infrastructure for distance #learning”, a school administrator from the Republic of #Chad stated.
As an example of crisis management, a #teacher from #Tanzania said that she taught the students through her mobile phone during the #Covid19 pandemic using her phone as a learning and teaching tool.
Even in a place like #Africa, finding solutions quickly and moving to distance learning was quite surprising, a teacher told how was the #adaptation period in #Senegal.
Another teacher from #Senegal said the way he deals with the #pandemic emotionally is through #prayer.
According to a school administrator from #Albania, all teachers, administrators, and parents showed #solidarity with each other and supported each other to overcome this extraordinary situation.
In terms of life perception, a teacher from Democratic Republic of the #Congo noted that her awareness of certain issues has gained depth and she added: “I have adopted a more #minimalist lifestyle.”
Feeling #disturbance during the pandemic in both physically and mentally is the another prominent theme among the participants. 5 subthemes such as heavy workload, changes in routine, social need, #anxiety and #fear, and homesickness were listed under the theme of discomfort.
