19.01.2022 Every day we are seeing parents struggling to be their childs teacher, because the promise of online schooling is not designed for so many children, including those with learning difficulties, special needs, or attention challenges. This is a generation where the inequalities in education will be dramatically amplified, potentially leading to lasting effects. Education authorities need to put resources into new and innovative programs to be administered individually to those in need by special education teachers, into parent training, and reassess expectations on working parents and parents with their own learning or mental health difficulties which mean they are not able to support their childs learning. School from home cannot mean that parents have to become one on one teachers!
