Abstract

Emergency remote teaching, on the one hand, constitutes the ground for equality of opportunity for students; but on the other hand, it can result in inequality becoming even more pronounced for disadvantaged groups. This chapter aims to present anecdotal evidence of inequalities from the perspectives of students, educators, parents, support personnel, and administrators during pandemic in Turkey. The study is based on the embedded single-case design and was applied with a total of 250 participants. According to the findings, lack of hardware, and/or issues of an infrastructural nature were some of the most cited forms of inequality. The stakeholders also noted problems having been experienced during live sessions, unclear measurement and evaluation grading systems, and educational materials applied to students with disabilities as forms of inequality. For the future of the next generation, there is a requirement for conscious state policies to be developed and implemented during the upcoming period as countries attempt to deal with the ongoing pandemic crisis.
