Coronavirus: Remote learning leaving some senior students behind

From Morning Report, 6:07 am on 20 April 2020

Secondary principals are worried that several more weeks of remote learning for senior students will be bad for those from poor families and those studying practical subjects.

Neil Watson from Auckland's Otahuhu College says the school has given its students 300 laptop computers and is hoping for a further 130 from the Education Ministry. 

He told RNZ education correspondent, John Gerritsen, that even with that help, many students will be falling behind.
