THE education divide will widen during the coronavirus lockdown, with poorer students less likely to have access to quiet study rooms, private tutors and the internet, a charity warned today.
About 40 per cent of children from low-income families – earning less than £20,000 – do not have a quiet room at home to work in, according to data from the Social Mobility Foundation (SMF).
In households where parents earn over £70,000 the figure is18 per cent.
