Abstract

Although e-learning has coped with the COVID-19 2020 pandemic, when face-to-face teaching has been impossible, it has illuminated inequality issues. This is not only that some students lack required technology and home support to access on-line materials, but a significant number are unable to learn without ongoing help. In Britain, we run a prescriptive education system focusing on what to learn rather than how. Students performing competently in supportive classrooms have found themselves floundering as they try to manage learning with less guidance. This has revealed their difficulties more acutely, resulting from language deficiencies that are rarely identified.
