Lack of access to the internet, suitable computers and teaching resources means many children in the UK are now excluded from online learning warns BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT.
BCS welcomed the UK Government’s plan to provide technology for some children to help with remote education during the COVID-19 crisis; but it is calling for a longer-term strategy, after its own research published recently has shown that there are wide disparities and many children, of all ages, are unable to access remote learning.
