The UK's Poorest Children are Now More Likely to Have a Personal Device
A new study has found that the children from the poorest backgrounds in the UK are twice as likely to have a personalised education plan compared to their more affluent peers. The research, conducted by the charity Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) and the University of Oxford, found that while the number of personalised education plans has increased since 2010, there is still a significant gap between those from the poorest and most affluent backgrounds.
This new study highlights the stark inequality in education opportunities for children from the poorest backgrounds in the UK. Children from these backgrounds are twice as likely to have a personalised education plan compared to their more affluent peers. This difference in educational opportunities is a problem that needs to be addressed, and the CSJ and University of Oxford are doing important work in bringing this issue to light.
