Question
to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of school children have access to laptops at home in the West Midlands Combined Authority area.
Answered by Nick Gibb
The Government is investing over £400 million to support access to remote education and online social care services, including securing over one million laptops and tablets for disadvantaged children and young people. This includes over 700,000 laptops and tablets that were delivered to schools, since the start of the outbreak.
Laptops and tablets are owned by schools, trusts or local authorities who can lend these to children and young people who need them most, during the current COVID-19 restrictions.
More information on the number of devices delivered to each local authority and academy trust can viewed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/laptops-tablets-and-4g-wireless-routers-progress-data.
