The field of adult basic education and literacy occupies a central position in supporting social participation of vulnerable groups. The Covid-19 pandemic brings new transformational processes that also affect the risk factors of drop-out in adult basic education and literacy. Drop-out can be studied as an amplifier of social inequality, which gains new relevance especially in the context of pandemic-related learning conditions. Thus, this paper highlights pandemic-related challenges for the field with particular attention to drop-out. Using a multi-level analysis procedure (expert interviews & narrative literature review), it can be shown that the factors "media literacy and media access", "continuity and course structure" as well as "trust and course retention" are already known risk factors of drop-out, but take on a new significance regarding pandemic-related changes. It can be shown that pandemic-related transformational processes have an effect of a burning glass on already existing problems in the field of adult basic education and literacy. Thus, the pedagogical task of appropriately shaping unpredictable changes takes on special significance in order to counteract the increase of social inequalities.
成人基础教育与扫盲领域在支持弱势群体的社会参与方面占据核心地位。新冠疫情带来了新的变革进程，这也影响着成人基础教育与扫盲中的辍学风险因素。辍学可被视为社会不平等的放大器，尤其在与疫情相关的学习条件背景下，这一问题具有了新的相关性。因此，本文着重强调了该领域与疫情相关的挑战，特别关注辍学问题。通过多层次分析程序（专家访谈和叙事文献综述）可以表明，“媒体素养与媒体接入”“连续性与课程结构”以及“信任与课程留存”等因素已是已知的辍学风险因素，但在与疫情相关的变化方面具有了新的重要性。可以看出，与疫情相关的变革进程对成人基础教育与扫盲领域中已存在的问题起到了放大镜的作用。因此，合理应对不可预测的变化这一教学任务具有特殊意义，以应对社会不平等的加剧。
