Prime Minister Scott Morrison took to social media on April 15 to express concern that many children who learn remotely from home will miss out on a proper education because their parents don’t have the capacity to facilitate their learning the way teachers can in the classroom.

“It’s so important that children are able to keep physically going to school, particularly for [vulnerable] kids,” he said.
