The field of score reporting continues to evolve because of new challenges, opportunities, and needs of society (e.g., COVID, remote teaching and learning). In this paper, the new challenges and opportunities in score reporting are discussed from the personal perspective of four experts who have previously conducted research in designing score reports in education. Comments are organized around four key questions concerning challenges raised by the Covid pandemic, how research will change, what current research is being conducted, and new directions in the field of score reporting.

The COVID-19 closures lasted at least 26 weeks in Poland, longer than in most EU countries. The Polish government’s response revealed inadequacies in planning and execution. Evidence from international and national studies shows that the related achievement decline is equivalent to at least one year of education and probably more immense for some students. We calculate that the lower estimate of the achievement decline is associated with reduced GDP growth by 0.35% points. The estimated wage loss per student over a 45-year working life sums up to an economic loss of 7.2% of Poland’s 2021 GDP.
