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

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.
