An Isle of Dogs primary school was the first to benefit from a partnership aimed at ensuring schoolchildren have access to the technology they need to learn.
Year 2 pupils at Cubitt Town Infants School received iPads as part of a collaboration between social enterprise TechInclusionUK and the Tower Hamlets Education Partnership (THE Partnership).
The emergence of remote learning - brought about by coronavirus - has heightened the risk of a technological gap. This reality is what prompted TechInclusionUK s founder, Rich Clensy, to go down this road: We spoke to teachers about their experience when schools were closed; many said they spent a lot of time printing off education packs.
