Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic forced a sudden transition to remote learning, revealing numerous concerns about its accessibility and effectiveness for students with intellectual disabilities. Although these experiences are now retrospective, they remain an important source of knowledge about organising education in crisis situations, such as armed conflicts, environmental threats, public health emergencies, or other sudden disruptions to school functioning. The aim of the study was to examine teachers’ opinions on remote education for this group of pupils in Poland and to compare them with the views of teachers working with other pupils with special educational needs. In 2021, a quantitative survey was conducted among 276 teachers from mainstream, inclusive and special schools, and the data were statistically analysed. The results indicate that remote education was perceived as more burdensome and less effective, highlighting difficulties in individualising instruction and insufficient systemic preparation. These findings may inform the development of inclusive educational solutions that ensure continuity and prevent exclusion in future crises.
