The purpose of this study is to analyze the post-pandemic school adaptation process, the existence and/or effectiveness of adaptation programs, the obstacles encountered during this process, and thoughts and solutions for dealing with the difficulties. Two different surveys were delivered to schools via Google form, with 3,625 students and 1,822 teachers filling them out. According to the findings of the study, 86 percent of students were excited to return to school. Despite this, high academic demands of family and teachers, bullying, failure to manage time, the danger of being COVID, teacher and friend relationships, and failing examinations are among the primary concerns of students. Teachers, contrary to student statistics, believe that students' adaptation to school after the pandemic is moderate. Teachers report that students struggle with following school rules, demonstrating constructive communication skills, emotion control, age-appropriate academic competencies, social skills, and life skills.
