Especially for primary school students, the challenges of distance education have negatively affected the development of academic and social skills.

It also aims to evaluate the difficulties faced by teachers and administrators in this process, the solution strategies they applied, and the measures that can be taken in case similar situations are encountered in the future. In this qualitative study, the case study method was used. The study group of the research consists of 12 classroom teachers and school administrators working in different schools in Ankara, Turkey in the 2024-2025 academic year. A semi-structured interview form was used as a data collection tool and the data were obtained from interviews with the participants. The data were analyzed by content analysis method. As a result of the study, it was understood that the disruptions in the education system during the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant learning losses, especially for primary school students.
