Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, covering the mouth region with a face mask became pervasive in many regions of the world, potentially impacting how people communicate with and around children. To explore the characteristics of this masked communication, we asked nursery school educators, who have been at the forefront of daily masked interaction with children, about their perception of daily communicative interactions while wearing a mask in an online survey. We collected data from French and Japanese nursery school educators to gain an understanding of commonalities and differences in communicative behavior with face masks given documented cultural differences in pre-pandemic mask wearing habits, face scanning patterns, and communicative behavior. Participants (177 French and 138 Japanese educators) reported a perceived change in their own communicative behavior while wearing a mask, with decreases in language quantity and increases in language quality and non-verbal cues. Comparable changes in their team members’ and children’s communicative behaviors were also reported. Moreover, our results suggest that these changes in educators’ communicative behaviors are linked to their attitudes toward mask wearing and their potential difficulty in communicating following its use. These findings shed light on the impact of pandemic-induced mask wearing on children’s daily communicative environment.

During the present time, COVID-19 situation is the topmost priority in our life. We are introducing a new dataset named Covid Face-Mask Monitoring Dataset which is based on Bangladesh perspective. We have a main concern to detect people who are using masks or not in the street. Furthermore, few people are not wearing masks properly which is harmful for other people and we have the intention to detect them also. Our proposed dataset contains 6,550 images and those images collected from the walking street, bus stop, street tea stall, foot-over bridge and so on. Among the full dataset, we selected 5,750 images for training purposes and 800 images for validation purposes. Our selected dimension is 1080 × 720 pixels for entire dataset. The percentage of validation data from the full dataset is almost 12.20%. We used a personal cell phone camera, DSLR for collecting frames and adding them into our final dataset. We have also planned to collect images from the mentioned place using an action camera or CCTV surveillance camera. But, from Bangladesh perspective it is not easy to collect clear and relevant data for research. To extend, CCTV surveillance cameras are mostly used in the university, shopping complex, hospital, school, college where using a mask is mandatory. But our goal of research is different. In addition, we want to mention that in our proposed dataset there are three classes which are 1. Mask, 2. No_mask, 3. Mask_not_in_position.

The dataset provided here is associated with the work "Efficacy of masks and face coverings in controlling aerosol particle emission from expiratory activities," by Asadi et al. This includes measurements made of the influence of different types of face coverings (surgical masks, both vented and unvented N95 respirators, and homemade fabric and paper towel masks) on the emission of micron-scale aerosols from various expiratory activities (coughing, breathing, speaking).
Methods Participants were asked to perform various expiratory activities (breathing, speaking, coughing, jaw movement) while wearing no mask or a mask or face covering (surgical masks, vented and unvented N95 respirators, homemade paper towel or one or two-layer cotton masks). Study participants performed these activities in front of a funnel connected to an aerodynamic particle sizer (APS), which measured the size-dependent aerosol concentration. Size-dependent concentrations were measured every 1-second during the activities. Additionally, the intensity and duration of the talking and coughing activities were measured using a calibrated microphone. The APS was located in a HEPA-filtered laminar flow hood to reduce background counts to near zero. Further details are provided in the associated manuscript (Asadi et al., to be submitted) or dissertation chapter (Asadi et al., 2020b). There were 11 participants total.
Provided here for each participant/mask type/expiratory activity are two files:
(i) a text (.txt) file containing the tab-delimited exported files from the APS. Particle sizes are in microns; the smallest size includes all particles measured below that size. Particle counts are given for each size every second.
(ii) a .wav file containing the microphone signals (in volts) recorded during the activity. These files are provided for only the talking and coughing activities.
All files have the naming structure FX_YYYY_ZZZZ or MX_YYYY_ZZZZ, where X is the participant number (1-11) YYYY is the designator for each mask type (KN95, N95, No = no mask, SLP = single-layer paper towel, Surg = surgical, UDLT = double-layer homemade cloth, SDLT = single-layer homemade cloth), and ZZZZ is the activity (Talk, Jaw, Cough, Breath).
Files are additionally provided for experiments where the masks were folded and rubbed against themselves to characterize particle shedding. These files have the names Rub_YYYY, where YYYY is again the mask type.
Data were processed using Matlab. The data are available as a single zip file for download. All personal identifiers have been removed.

TwitterPurpose: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has prompted changes to child assessment procedures in schools such as the use of face masks by assessors. Research with adults suggests that face masks diminish performance on speech processing and comprehension tasks, yet little is known about how assessor masking affects child performance. Therefore, we asked whether assessor masking impacts children’s performance on a widely used, individually administered oral language assessment and if impacts vary by child home language background.Method: A total of 96 kindergartners (5–7 years old, n = 45 with a home language other than English) were administered items from the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals Preschool–Second Edition Recalling Sentences subtest under two conditions: with and without the assessor wearing a face mask. Regression analysis was used to determine if children scored significantly lower in the masked condition and if the effect of masking depended on home language background.Results: Contrary to expectations, we found no evidence that students scored systematically differently in the masked condition. Children with a home language other than English scored lower overall, but masking did not increase the gap in scores by language background.Conclusions: Our results suggest that children’s performance on oral language measures is not adversely affected by assessor masking and imply that valid measurements of students’ language skills may be obtained in masked conditions. While masking might decrease some of the social determinants of communication (e.g., recognition of emotions), masking in this experiment did not appear to detract from children’s ability to hear and immediately recall verbal information.Supplemental Material S1.

The global children's mask market is experiencing robust expansion, projected to reach an estimated USD 1,500 million by 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 8.5% between 2019 and 2033. This significant market size reflects the sustained and evolving demand for protective respiratory gear tailored for younger demographics. The market is primarily driven by increasing parental awareness regarding children's health and safety, especially in the wake of heightened concerns about air pollution, allergens, and infectious diseases. Furthermore, government initiatives promoting public health, coupled with the growing availability of comfortable and child-friendly mask designs, are bolstering market growth. The sector is witnessing a surge in innovation, with manufacturers focusing on breathable materials, ergonomic fits, and appealing designs to encourage consistent usage among children. Disposable masks continue to dominate the market due to their convenience and affordability, particularly for everyday use. However, there is a discernible trend towards the adoption of non-disposable, washable masks as consumers become more environmentally conscious and seek cost-effective long-term solutions. The children's mask market is segmented across various age groups, with the 6-9 Years and 9 Years and Over segments currently holding substantial shares, driven by school attendance and increased outdoor activities. The younger age groups, Under 2 Years and 2-6 Years, are also showing promising growth as awareness about early respiratory protection gains traction. Geographically, the Asia Pacific region is a key growth engine, primarily led by China and India, due to their large child populations and escalating air quality concerns. North America and Europe are also significant markets, characterized by high disposable incomes and a strong emphasis on child well-being. Key players such as 3M, Honeywell, and Kimberly-Clark are actively investing in research and development to introduce advanced filtering technologies and designs that cater specifically to children's needs, further shaping the competitive landscape. Despite the positive trajectory, potential restraints include fluctuating raw material costs and occasional skepticism regarding the necessity of mask-wearing among younger children in certain regions, which the industry is actively addressing through educational campaigns.

TwitterThis study is a part of a larger project on education in Zambia. The overall project included the schools survey, provincial education offices and district education offices surveys, testing of students in sampled schools, the household survey and the student survey. The project covered households in a catchment area of 36 isolated schools. Researchers also proposed to re-test students who participated in tests under 2001 National Assessment Survey (NAS). As part of the re-testing exercise, 3,200 pupils formed the initial sample for the administration of tests in English, mathematics, and vernacular. In addition, 20 randomly chosen students from Grade V and Grade VI were interviewed for the student survey.
Documented here are datasets covering schools, Provincial Education Offices (PEO) and District Education Offices (DEO).
Education expenditures in Zambia (apart from teacher salaries) are distributed through an administrative hierarchy consisting of PEOs and DEOs. The survey data contain a detailed tracking of resources allocated by the government through this hierarchy to schools. Approaches of public expenditure tracking surveys (PETS) and quantitative service delivery surveys (QSDS) are integrated in this study.
The study was carried out by the Government of Zambia and the World Bank. It covered 184 primary (grades 1-7) and basic (grades 1-9) schools, 33 DEOs and four PEOs in four provinces: Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern, and Eastern.
Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern, and Eastern provinces.
Sample survey data [ssd]
A random sample stratified on the basis of urban and rural locations included 184 schools in 33 districts. The schools surveyed were chosen from a frame of primary (grades 1-7) and basic (grades 1-9) schools in four Zambian provinces: Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern, and Eastern. The choice of these four provinces was dictated primarily by the variation in educational attainments, regional incomes, and administrative structures. Specifically, Lusaka and Copperbelt are the two richest provinces in Zambia, with high enrollment rates, and Northern and Eastern provinces are the poorest, with enrollment rates only marginally better than the worst performing Central province.
Since this study is linked to 2001 National Assessment Survey (NAS), the choice of schools in the sample was restricted by the sampling methodology of the NAS. The NAS sampling was based on a probability-proportional to size methodology. For this study, researchers surveyed about half the schools covered in NAS 2001. For details on sampling methodology, please refer to "Zambia ESDS 2002 Sampling Note " in external resources.
Face-to-face [f2f]
The following survey instruments are available:
The Teacher Questionnaire was designed to examine two sorts of inputs that may impact on the performance of a teacher: first are the teacher-inputs such as demographic and educational characteristics and second are institutional inputs (primarily teacher salaries). The teacher questionnaire thus focuses on obtaining a basic demographic and educational profile of the teacher, and then moves on to asking about salary and allowances, as well as delays in the receipt of payments.
The Head-Teacher Questionnaire starts with the same sections as the teacher questionnaire. Several additional sections then probe the characteristics of teachers, pupils, parents (through the PTA section) and the administrative structure (through the Relationship with DEO/PEO sections). Finally the head-teacher questionnaire also contains a section on decisions and shortages, where we try to understand the nature of the financial constraints that schools are operating under.
The General School Questionnaire has a three-fold purpose. First, researchers believed that school infrastructure and location themselves may be important for learning achievement; the first few sections of this questionnaire thus systematically ask about the availability and condition of infrastructure in the school. Second, the questionnaire examines the characteristics of the student population in the school such as the overall profile of attendance and grade-repetition. Finally, the questionnaire links to the DEO/PEO questionnaire to complete the Public Expenditure Tracking exercise. To enable researchers to track the flow of resources, the questionnaire then asks about the receipt of resources from other levels of the administration such as the DEO and the PEO's offices.
The District Education Office and Provincial Education Office Questionnaires like the General School and the Head-Teacher Questionnaires, are designed to address two different components of the survey. Part II is concerned with the tracking of public expenditure-how much do the DEO and PEO offices receive? What are the primary expenses in these offices? Part I is similar in form to the head-teacher questionnaire, and asks about the demographic and educational characteristics of the DEO/PEO, before moving on to examine the views of the DEO on their relationship with schools (through visits and inspections) and the overall educational administration.
Head-Teacher Matching Roster and Pupil Matching Roster were designed to match students, who were tested in math and English and other subjects in 2001 and 2002, with teachers, and to carefully identify the changes that could have potentially affected students during the last year. The datasets documented here do not include test scores.

TwitterThe Youth Cohort Study (YCS) is a major programme of longitudinal research designed to monitor the behaviour and decisions of representative samples of young people aged sixteen upwards as they make the transition from compulsory education to further or higher education, or to the labour market. It tries to identify and explain the factors which influence post-16 transitions, for example, educational attainment, training opportunities, experiences at school. To date the YCS covers thirteen cohorts and over forty surveys. The first cohort was first surveyed in 1985 and the thirteenth in 2007. The questionnaires have been designed, over the years, to be broadly comparable, but external changes and shifts in policy interest have brought about changes - some minor, some fundamental. Cohorts One to Twelve cover England and Wales but a change to the methodology means that from Cohort Thirteen, data cover England only. For further details of the methodology and coverage, see the documentation.
The UK Data Archive currently holds data for the cohorts listed below:
