A nationwide call for college students, professionals, and retired teachers to tutor online.
The fallout from the pandemic threatens to depress this generation’s prospects and constrict their opportunities far into adulthood.”
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, August 31, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- (Minneapolis, MN)— As the nation settles into post-pandemic life, there is an ever-growing dispute surrounding the impact that the pandemic had on K-12 students. According to McKinsey & Company, the global management consulting firm that offers professional services to corporations, governments, and other organizations: “Our analysis shows that the impact of the pandemic on K-12 student learning was significant, leaving students on average five months behind in mathematics and four months behind in reading by the end of the school year.”
The firm goes on to report, “The pandemic widened pre-existing opportunity and achievement gaps, hitting historically disadvantaged students hardest. In math, students in majority Black schools ended the year with six months of unfinished learning, and students in low-income schools with seven. High schoolers have become more likely to drop out of school, and high school seniors, especially those from low-income families, are less likely to go on to postsecondary education.”
Campussophisticate.com, a Minneapolis-based student resource center, and retailer is making a commitment to reduce the impact of the McKinsey & Company’s report on our Minnesota K-12 students across all races nationwide. “We have implemented a tutoring platform online where college students can tutor K-12 students, especially in the areas of mathematics, science, and reading for an hourly rate to parents not exceeding $12. In addition, we are partnering with volunteer retired teachers and professionals offering free tutoring to the underprivileged,” says Natasha Chughtai, President of Campussophisticate.com. College students, professionals, and retired teachers are encouraged and invited to become tutors for any amount of time they can spare to make a huge difference in the lives of children. “We can influence the future by our purposeful actions today," said Natasha Chughtai.

The McKinsey & Company concludes, “While all types of students experienced unfinished learning, some groups were disproportionately affected. Students of color and low-income students suffered the most. Students in majority-Black schools ended the school year six months behind in both math and reading, while students in majority-white schools ended up just four months behind in math and three months behind in reading. Students in predominantly low-income schools and urban locations also lost more learning during the pandemic than their peers in high-income rural and suburban schools”.
Through proof of concept, dedication to our nation’s future, and unwavering commitment to bridging the education gap, Campus Sophisticate’s purpose-driven vision can come to fruition.
