This comprehensive report (51 page PDF) looks at how countries adapted their education systems to the Covid pandemic. It's too early to tell how they fared, but this report serves as a baseline that will help researchers in the future map adaptations to post-Covid educational outcomes. It's worth noting - and the report does note this - that countries with the poorest PISA scores were also the countries that fully closed their schools the longest. This wasn't related to infection rates, but rather, was related to economic conditions. I would also look in post-Covid analysis for any correlation between internet availability and success rates, though the study doesn't draw this comparison explicitly.
