In early summer, nearly 70% of college students felt they were falling behind in their studies because of the COVID‐19 pandemic. That's one of the findings of State of Student Success and Trends in Higher Education: 2020 Global Research Study and Trends , a report by Canvas that reveals results of a survey of students. The findings also show major disparities in reported engagement among students of different economic classes, with 2.5 times more students from upper economic classes reporting feeling extremely engaged in the classes and coursework than their lower‐income peers.
