Lack of access to up-to-date technology is one of the many barriers that children and young people from low-income homes face in trying to fully access their education. VTO's Home Tuition service provides a dedicated volunteer tutor to each young person who is behind their peers in school and who is unable to afford to pay for private tutoring. Around 60% of this tutoring is provided online; VTO maintains a commitment to supporting our pupils who need online tuition by ensuring that lack of a suitable device or internet connection is not a barrier to accessing tutoring from us. Since online tutoring began with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, VTO has been operating a device loan scheme to provide access for our young people to equipment such as laptops, tablets and drawing tablets wherever they are needed. The demand for devices remains high, and is exacerbated by the cost of living crisis. This funding will ensure that we can maintain adequate stocks of devices for new referrals to our service.
