Give evidence on deaf education during the pandemic to public inquiry

Posted on February 19, 2021 by



The Public Accounts Committee is undertaking a public inquiry about education during Covid-19 (see below). Give evidence here.

The Committee will question senior officials at the Department for Education on how well it managed its overall response in the first lockdown, including whether it effectively supported schools and pupils in England during this period, whether it managed the move to mainly home-learning effectively and whether it effectively supported vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

If anyone would like to submit a comment relating to deaf children’s education during this period, submit it here. See the info below.

The Public Accounts Committee have just opened a new inquiry entitled Covid-19: Education.
 
Towards the end of March 2020, as part of the measures taken to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, schools closed to all pupils except vulnerable children and children of key workers. Some year groups returned to school in June, but most children did not return until September 2020. Therefore, for several months the majority of pupils were learning at home.
 
Schools were physically closed to most children again on 5 January with 24 hours’ notice and remain closed indefinitely, until further notice from the Government.
 
The Committee will question senior officials at the Department for Education on how well it managed its overall response in the first lockdown, including whether it effectively supported schools and pupils in England during this period, whether it managed the move to mainly home-learning effectively and whether it effectively supported vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
 
Questions will revolve around the scope of the ongoing NAO assessment, which can be found here: https://bit.ly/3tFIp3k
 
If you have evidence on these questions, you can submit it here by 6pm on Tuesday 18 March 2021: https://bit.ly/3tFM0hZ
