Broadcast school lessons via newly set up, dedicated free-to-air channels.
With schools closed, many children do not have internet access or devices with which to access the internet, many of these children do however have access to a TV.
Each year group should have a dedicated channel from which to work with content accessible via on demand/online.
It is impossible for many parents to home school their children with many falling behind and having no access to education even if they want to learn.
With the help of teachers, free-to-air TV is a very direct, inexpensive, quick and safe way to reach many more children with structured and focussed learning content.
This will also be very useful for households with multiple children and limited devices. The on demand content will also be helpful for those with internet access and Smart TVs.
