The poorest children are recalling more schools and falling behind classmates, showing research with BBC shows.

According to the new analysis of the Education Policy Institute (EPI) – which sees the performance of the effigy after the Kovid -19 epidemic – the children of the lowest income families are now up to 19 months behind the companions until the time of 16 years old.

Education Secretary Bridget Philipson said that BBC Panorama Kovid made “serious and intense changes” to the appearance of appearance. He said that Lockdown had put a “long shade” on the possibilities of the youngest children.

The latest figures for continuous absence show 15% primary children in England, this school has missed at least one in ten days of the year – from about 8% before Kovid.

It comes as a difference between the poorest students and other students, which were mainly compressed before the epidemic after years of attempt by schools.

However, the report states that it is deteriorating. Difference – which is measured using GCSE results – if the attendance of the school was the same for all students, it will be reduced from 19 months to 15 months of learning.

From EPI, Natalie Perera said that this is the first time “a very clear link”, who participate in the school of children with the lowest -income families, and how many students are behind the other students.

His team especially saw children who have received free school food in the last six years, meaning that the income of the family is less than £ 7,400 per year after tax and does not include benefits.

Ms. Perera said that more research was required to understand that these children fought to stay in school, including potential factors including poor housing and mental health.

Five years after the UK moved to Lockdown, when the school closed for most children.

Playgrots and nurseries also close, in which infants and children’s parents are different from their expanded family. Other changes were also, as health visitors were re-deployed or were only in contact with online parents.

Panorama has heard about the impact on these children from families and teachers, who are just starting or are still in primary school.

Schools say that some have delayed speeches and words understanding, or have slowed down social or emotional development, or they have a lack of basic skills raised normally through sports.

Professor Catherine Davis, the University of Leeds, says that some children missed “original skills”, they need to make school understanding and get it with broad groups.

At the Queen’s Drive Primary School in Preston, Sarah Baraklo, a teaching assistant, has been trained in a national program to help four and five -year -old children in England with speech and language.

She says that Kovid’s influence has been “huge” and if they do not learn to say and understand more words, the children become isolated. “You are alone and are not joining sports in the playground,” she says.

Now at the age of four, Iman was first born during the UK lockdown and is one of the children who are receiving help through the Nafield Early Language Intervention (Nelli).

His parents, Ruby and Charles, actually notice the difference between Iman and his elder brother. During the epidemic, Iman barely went out and met others.

Charles states that there is a “clear difference” between his sons and that Aman is a very high klinge.

The Neli program to train teaching assistants is funded by the end of this school year in England. But beyond then, funding has not been confirmed yet.

The government has set a target of 2028 for 75% of children – from 68% – when they leave the reception, to reach a good level of development.

Lockdown and partial school can prove to be the most difficult to solve some cultural changes caused by closure.

The Education Secretary told the BBC that the epidemic had changed the outlook towards appearance. He said that it was important that the youngest students of the youngest “need support” got the youngest students.
