Free web access at home for 2m poor pupils

Additional Information

More than one million children in Britain live in homes without computers and a further two million have no internet connection at home.While in the richest 10% of homes, 98% had a home computer and 97% had internet access. As a result of this discrimination, pupils in the most wealthy parts of the country were almost twice as likely to achieve five A* to C grades as their peers in the poorest parts of the country.
It seems to me the present gap in this matter is totally unacceptable. Therefore, it is necessary the UK gov take appropriate measure to eradicate this discrimination which directly effect on the future of poor pupils.
As we know, the rights to access the web is recognized as a human right by international organisation. I suggest that free access to the web for those who can't afford
