The House of Lords COVID-19 Select Committee will be exploring this issue in an evidence session when it hears from a panel of witnesses including the Sutton Trust and the Education Policy Institute next week.
The session will take place virtually at 10am on Tuesday 9 February and will be available to watch live or on demand at Parliament TV.
Giving evidence will be:
10am
- Margaret Mulholland, SEND and inclusion specialist;
- Natalie Perera, Chief Executive, Education Policy Institute;
- Richard Sheriff, President, Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL); and
- James Turner, Chief Executive, Sutton Trust.
Themes for discussion include;
- The extent to which children have been able to learn digitally over the last year.
- How digital learning might increasingly be used in education over the next 2-5 years, including to reduce inequalities in education.
