According to a BBC report, lockdown already widened learning gaps between richer and poorer primary school children in England.
Children from poorer families did at least one hour less learning a day compared with those in richer families, the Institute of Fiscal Studies found. One head teacher says it could take up to two years to bring some children back to their correct attainment level.
The IFS surveyed the parents of 5,500 school-aged children in England during lockdown. It compared the richest 20% of pupils with the poorest 20%.
In May, the IFS said children from wealthier families were spending more time studying during the pandemic than poorer children.
