It provided schools with a number of laptops and devices which would connect them to the internet \u2013 pre-loaded with enough data to keep the children going.\u00a0 However, most schools will say that the laptops came late \u2013 in May, or even nearer the summer holidays \u2013 and there weren\u2019t enough to go round.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you wanted proof that the Government was not planning a third lockdown, you can find it in the fact that having suddenly shut down schools, the Government admits it must now provide more laptops and pre-loaded routers \u2013 but it has very few, if any, ready to go out.\u00a0 This will leave children from the poorest families in \u201cdigital poverty\u201d \u2013 too poor to buy their own laptops and pay for wifi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The problem of digital poverty is now hitting the headlines in the mainstream media.\u00a0 Ofcom estimates that 9% of children in the UK do not have access to a laptop, desktop or tablet. That\u2019s between 1.1 million and 1.8 million children learning from home without a device which can connect them to their school website and the online learning resources their school recommends and on which they can work.\u00a0 More than 880,000 of them live in a household with only a mobile internet connections.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Already some private sector companies are piling in to help. Three UK, which has an 11% market share of mobile subscriptions in the UK, announced on Tuesday, 5th January, that it would provide unlimited data upgrades to \u201cdisadvantaged\u201d schoolchildren in England until the school year ends in July.\u00a0 Other mobile providers are coming under pressure to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It has taken the pandemic to highlight inequalities in society which have been there for years and years.\u00a0 Labelling some children \u201cdisadvantaged\u201d does not hide the fact that we pay some of our workers such low wages that they could not afford laptops and wifi for their children before the pandemic. The children whom the Government is now helping were not able to do their homework online before the pandemic arrives. They would have gained fewer qualifications and, ultimately, lower paid jobs perpetuating the whole unequal system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enlightened local authorities help mitigate the effects of inequality by providing extra resources such as libraries.\u00a0 Successive governments cut funding to local authorities for services such as these \u2013 telling Councils to become more efficient.\u00a0 Some Local Education Authorities pumped resources into schools to compensate for the lack of computers and internet at home. Their intentions were \u201ctrumped\u201d by a Government ideological attack which promised children success if their schools were rebranded as \u201cacademies\u201d or \u201cfree schools\u201d \u2013 and diverted the money to the new institutions.\u00a0 Either Governments were remarkably ignorant, or they were trying to perpetuate inequality.
