Arizona Illustrated

Season 11, Episode 36 of 47

Education in Recovery explores how Arizona families, educators, and students are grappling with the long-term impacts of the COVID learning gap. Featuring personal stories and expert insight, the story reveals how chronic absenteeism, digital divides, and emotional setbacks have reshaped education. We also show how flexible online models like Tucson Unified Virtual Academy (TUVA) is helping some students thrive in a post-pandemic world. As families adapt and educators innovate, the path to recovery remains uneven, but filled with resilience and hope.
