Nayeer Afzal, Programme Director at Learning Hive, examines the summer learning gap and offers her thoughts on how summer school.
From March 2020 to March 2021, the government handed out 1.4 million digital devices, however, only 27% of those devices were provided in the first 6 months.
To close the digital divide, a holistic approach that ensures disadvantaged pupils can obtain better access to devices, both in school and at home is essential.
In the latest NEU survey, 10,000+ school and college staff report on their working lives over the past year, and how they view it in the coming months & years.
Learning Hive was instrumental in the See, Hear, Respond programme which helped bridge learning gaps between disadvantaged pupils and their peers.
A collaborative, structured effort is needed by teachers and partner organisations to help bridge the gap between less affluent pupils and their peers.
Catch-up classes shouldn’t be punitive experiences for pupils and teachers – balance must be struck between academic achievement and emotional wellbeing.
