The Education Policy Institute has suggested that some pupils should be given the opportunity to repeat a year of school, if their parents or carers agree. It has been suggested that certain groups of children and young people, including those with special educational needs and those with limited access to digital devices, may have struggled with learning from home more than their peers. The EPI is asking the government to consider how it will support those pupils and whether they should be able to repeat the school year.
