Free Homework Help Classes

At African Challenge Scotland, children and young people are our present and future.

In the current circumstances, and as a direct result of the Covid-19 pandemic, many children and young people are experiencing barriers to their learning and managing the transitions.

Many families highlighted the needs of additional support, from primary school, secondary school, higher education, work or other post-school provisions.

Potential barriers that learners could face

Young people making transitions back into education and across education stages and settings could face a number of particular challenges in the current context, for example:

  • limited resource availability, for example books, stationery, craft materials, digital equipment and connectivity
  • lack of engagement with supported online and home learning such as digital poverty including lack of equipment, little or no adult support, space to work, structure to the day and loss of routine
  • wellbeing, social and emotional and pastoral care
  • pressure on parents to return to working patterns which will prevent them from being able to supervise or assist with home learning
  • families facing hardship and poverty for the first time, may find it difficult to access the support they need due to the unfamiliarity of support systems and being previously unknown to professionals
  • limited opportunities for induction activities for example, school visits, meeting new teachers, or participating in fresher weeks at college or university
  • challenges around transfer of data on progress and support needs
  • lack of access to partnership learning such as Higher Education summer schools, and work placements
  • different start dates for college or university courses
  • helping children and young people with additional support needs to recognise and understand their next steps

We have established an online support programme for children and young people and their parents and carers, in partnership with other professionals. Our free Online Homework Help Classes Programme will help to rebuild resilience and hope into our communities. In addition, the activities provided will help pupils to reduce their anxiety and increase their sense of safety and belonging.
