Fund broadband for all households with school-age children from September.

Petition Details

Schools have had to quickly establish a successful infrastructure of online provision. During this time all schools have uncovered a stark fact. Poorer households cannot afford the connectivity to access this new learning. Without broadband for all we are locking the school gates to the poorer kids.

Additional Information

Schools will offer a 'blended' provision of smaller classes and directed home or independent learning. This means a change in lunch provision, stationery and staffing. Government needs to direct budget changes to provide connectivity and hardware for vulnerable and poor students. This cannot be driven at a local level as it requires culture change and positive, proactive resourcing. Schools are ready to deliver; students at home need to be ready, resourced and connected.
