Adolescents experiencing a higher number of school closure days during the pandemic were more likely to report school pressure, with lack of personal interaction with teachers and, peers possibly being among the factors behind the link between school closure and school pressure. Remote learning processes may have contributed to feelings of added school pressure through lower learning concentration and engagement, inability to learn from online sources, difficulties in organizing study time and worries about the future.
