1.78 million kids has no device at home at the start of the pandemic. 559,000 had no internet access. By November 84% of schools with the poorest kids still didn’t have enough devices or internet access for all self isolating pupils to learn at home. Still a problem in Jan.https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1346205337788014592 …
Sutton Trust says 35% of households in the lowest income quintile reported not having sufficient devices in their house, compared to 11% of those on the highest quintile. Only 5% of teachers in state schools reported all their students had a device- at private schools its 54%.
Astonishingly, the Sutton Trust said in January that that gap had widened since March 2020- “with full access at private schools increasing by 12 percentage points, outpacing the 1 percentage point growth in state schools.”
As have reported many times before, all of this has left teachers and parents very worried about the prospect of *already profound* educational inequalities being made still worse. It’s also why Kevan Collins asked for so much money.
Or to use the govt’s vernacular, this is perhaps the biggest “levelling up” crisis in Britain today and there is a serious risk of a profound levelling down. Collins’ argument is that by spending less now that levelling down will be worse (and more expensive) in the long term.
Remember too, we have exams and university admissions to come. These things...will not be easy.
Sir Peter Lampl, Exec Chair @suttontrust on Kevan Collins’ resignation. Says he’s a “warrior for social justice...steeped in understanding as to what works in education. That means it’s even sadder that government has not implemented what he advised.”pic.twitter.com/gzSwAiR6In
Any stats on children with SEN related to this? I might have missed it, but haven’t heard much about them in the latest news about learning gaps and what is required to catch up
Thanks for highlighting this Lewis - we can't let the government sell our children short
Daft question here: Do those private stats include boarding schools?
