Families forced to home educate during COVID-19 crisis need urgent help
‘The government needs to step up and better support students and their families forced into home learning during the COVID-19 crisis. In a letter to the Education Minister Dan Tehan, the Australian Parents Council (APC) says immediate action is required to help parents, many of whom have lost their jobs, or are taking time off work or trying to juggle work from home to be with children.
‘The impact on parents is huge. They are trying to adapt to supporting their children’s learning at home.’
