Digital divide: Eva explains how she struggled with tech during lockdown

Many charities and head teachers have spoken about the 'digital divide' as a reason that some children got more out of remote learning than others.

The 'digital divide'is the gap between those who have access to the technology (laptops/tablets) and internet services they need to do proper home-schooling, and those who don't.
