How has COVID-19 impacted education in Secondary Schools in the UK?
Experts think that COVID-19 could cost students £350 billion in earnings due to lost learning.[1]
· Massive losses in learning such as these are likely to be followed by lower skills and qualifications, resulting in permanent loss of wages.[2]
If your children’s potential loss of salary worries you, tutoring is a great option for you to catch your children upon this lost learning and lost earnings.
· Similarly, to primary school students, The National Tutoring Program is aimed to help disadvantaged children with the lost learning, once again, leaving families not under this category to fend for themselves.
Worried about your children missing out due to not being classed as disadvantaged?
Tutoring can be that vital boost that your children need especially during the key life-development stages of secondary school.
· Recently, teachers rejected to increase the hours of the standard working day to catch up on missed learning.[3]
Even though schools are open, there does not seem too much of an attempt to make up for the missed learning, once again leaving it to parents.
Tutoring can make up this missed learning and give your children an edge in the future.
· A study has shown that students in secondary school are over two months behind in English and Mathematics compared to the 2019/20 school year.[4]
Secondary school is a vital stage for children in developing into young adults and building a path to what they want to do in life.
If the potential for £350 billion loss in earnings for students worries you, tutoring is the perfect option to ensure your children have the upper edge and regain this future lost earning.
