The impact of the first wave of COVID-19 on students' attainment, analysed by IRT modelling method

R. Takács, S. Takács, et al.

Surprisingly, the transition to online education did not lead to a significant increase in dropouts, yet students found online subjects easier, resulting in lower average grades—raising questions about scholarship equity.
