coronavirus: Lockdown pupils are three months behind, say teachers
Children in England are three months behind in their studies after lockdown, with boys and poor pupils worst hit, a teacher survey has suggested.
The learning gap between rich and poor pupils has grown by almost half since schools closed in March, teachers said.
With schools balancing education with social distancing, a quick catch-up is unlikely, the authors warned.
The new term begins in England and Wales this week. Schools are already back in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The National Foundation for Educational Research’s survey questioned almost 3,000 heads and teachers in about 2,200 schools.
It was carried out just before the end of term in July, and suggested teachers had covered just 66% of their usual curriculum for the academic year.
