“Our children are so excited and grateful to be receiving these devices” - Waulud Primary School joined us to receive devices today. Increasing numbers of devices in schools across Luton will allow us to close the digital gap. #digitaldivide #digitalpoverty #tech4all

1/2 The Big Device Drop. I’m so proud to be part of today, delivering 550 digital devices across the county to schools. It’s because of you that this is possible and I would like thank everyone who has helped to close the #digitaldivide in Bedfordshire. #digitalpoverty #tech4all

Thank you for sharing @rach_hopkins & a shame we didn’t get to hear your powerful words today in the house. Even more so now devices are needed across the county for students who are at home & being asked to include themselves in #remotelearning without a #digitaldevice #Tech4All

“Digital access is not a luxury. It is a basic requirement of learning.”
I was not selected to speak in today's Opposition Day debate on Access to Remote Education, but I want to share what I would have said.

When our families find it difficult to come to school to collect resources, we simply go to them. #community #remotelearning

We are delighted that almost all pupils are now ‘set up’ for remote digital learning. Parents, check your parentmail over the next couple of days, for how to contact us for further support or to overcome your teething troubles at home. We are here to help! @WeareXMA @AntonBeehl

The COVID-19 pandemic means #digitalinclusion matters more than ever for families' learning, money and wellbeing. As we head for another #lockdown, *NOW* ⏰ is the time for UK Gov to support them, to level up opportunity 🎚️⚖️, and help 🤝 millions who are digitally excluded 💡⚡️

According to @TeachFirst, 4 out of 5 schools with the poorest pupils do not have enough devices and internet access to ensure all pupils can keep learning from home.
We must ensure that every child has the resources they need to continue their education.

We are pleased to hear that #digitalpoverty has become part of the discussion during this evenings briefing. We only hope that all children have access to #digitaldevices and adequate #wifi

No child should be excluded from remote learning because they don't have access to IT devices or broadband.
Pleased to sign @Siobhain_Mc's letter to @BorisJohnson that presses the government to ensure that all children can continue learning from home.

The Prime Minister has pledged to distribute more devices to those that need them as we enter another national lockdown. Good to hear that it has become part of the conversation for students who otherwise would be unable to participate in their online lessons. #digitalpoverty
