The online provision of education, which the COVID-19 pandemic’s extraordinary circumstances required, distanced all stakeholders of education, especially students, from the culture of school. However, the academic and social environment of the school is very important for the academic, social and emotional development of students. In order to resume face-to-face education effectively and without interruption, it is necessary to reconsider school starting with its academic and social aspect. This session will focus on topics such as learning losses of students for different disciplines in face-to-face education after the pandemic, the social and emotional development of students in face-to-face education, increasing teacher and student motivation, peer bullying and cyberbullying, teacher cooperation, parental participation in education will be discussed.
