Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic added to the extreme exclusion already being experienced in education. Focusing on England as an island of extreme exclusion, this chapter reviews the government’s decision-making and advice to schools, parents and students during the pandemic, including decisions on school closures, who may attend school, designations of ‘vulnerable’ students and arrangements for learning at home. The extent to which these decisions generated extreme exclusion is considered. The chapter also reports the findings of a study, ‘Diversifying Inclusion and Growth: Inspiring Technologies for Accessible Learning (Digital) in a Time of Coronavirus’, undertaken in five countries. The extreme nature of the educational exclusion generated by the pandemic, and its consequences for children and young people, parents and teachers is considered. However, we also report on instances of teachers overturning extreme exclusion and establishing new practices which engaged and involved children and young people. We end with a cautionary note about seeking to return to what was considered ‘normal’ prior to the pandemic but which amounted to extreme exclusion for many.
