According to the lunchtime news (ITV) the Government have said that there is a problem with the supply chain and it is hopeful that all computers required will be delivered before the Christmas break.
That's not what headteachers have been told. Maybe it's lack of communication, which wouldn't be surprising.
There are dozens of headteachers on the various teachers' groups I visit who are complaining that they have received about a third of the number of computers they requested.
The contract, worth £98 million, was outsourced to a private company, so maybe the government doesn't know what's going on.
The fact is that thousands of children are currently (before the half term break) having to work from home and the situation will almost certainly become worse over the next few weeks before Christmas. There are calls for blended learning to become the norm to make schools safer places, by enabling smaller classes. Christmas is too late!
