Not sure if this is the same across the pond, but here in Germany this rings true. Most covid restrictions are gone, but a lot of teachers have burnout or similar problems, and some quit already during covid. This means the teachers left need to pick up the work of these colleagues, and schools and ministries are slow at taking on new teachers. At the same time, there seems to be a huge problem with the "covid generation" of teenagers, in that a lot of them a) don't want to put in the work and b) don't understand how school-work with physical presence really works. There is now a 2 year gap in physical education for high schoolers, during one of the most important times of their education. I also see this now with the new Bachelor students in my department, professors are really confused by complaints like "this was only said during lecture, how should I know".
