The school enrollment supplement
provides basic school enrollment data for persons 3 years old or
older who are enrolled in nursery, kindergarten, elementary school,
high school, college and vocational technical schools. This request
is to add seven questions to the School Enrollment Supplement in
October 2020. The added questions will assist researchers to
understand how the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic affected
schooling at an individual child level, such as: • how children
received instruction in a distance-format, if at all; • how much
digital and internet access children had, if at all; • how much
live interaction children had with teachers, if at all; and • how
much time was spent on distance learning.
