Online learning has increased, with almost a quarter of primary pupils in England now doing more than five hours a day, but children in lower income households are still lagging behind with insufficient laptops, according to a report.
Research by the Sutton Trust showed schools are now better equipped to deliver remote learning than they were last March, but significant socio-economic gaps persist, which will fuel mounting fears about the growing attainment gap between disadvantaged children and their classmates.
The paper compares the amount of time children spent studying during the March lockdown, when schools were suddenly forced to close to all but children of key worker parents and vulnerable pupils, with time spent learning during the current lockdown.
