Home schooling at this challenging time is undoubtedly difficult for many families and it was fantastic to hear in recent days that the BBC has put together an extensive programme of educational broadcasting for students across the UK during this national ‘lockdown’. As of the 11th January, CBBC are showing a three hour block of primary schooling, with BBC Two catering for secondary school students for at least two hours a day. This is a really important offering and will greatly benefit many students up and down the country – the true ‘lockdown’ spirit and I am pleased the BBC is playing its part.
