KNX News is slated to host a town hall centered around the unseen and unspoken effects the COVID-19 pandemic brought on.
On Wednesday, February 22nd at 5:00 PM PT, KNX News will air an hour-long, commercial-free discussion titled A Generation Lost on what lasting damage the COVID-19 pandemic caused for children and teenagers, and what experts have seen and forecast for the years to come.
The panel will include:
Jill Baker, Superintendent, Long Beach Unified School District
Gary Clark, director of undergraduate admissions at UCLA
Chito Cajayon, Dean, Los Angeles Trade Tech College
Sean Reardon, Director, Education Opportunity Project at Stanford
Students will be welcomed to share their experiences of disrupted learning, social patterns, and more.
The panel will explore how the pandemic altered the way children learn, work, and play, and how it has affected their mental health. The roundtable will also discuss what potential damage was done to higher education over the past three years.
It will also converse on what has been studied, what hasn’t, and what potentially is still unknown about the development of young people during the pandemic.
