The 91�ȱ� is making lots of extra educational content available to help you keep up with their studies during lockdown.

From Monday 11 January, C91�ȱ�, 91�ȱ� Two, 91�ȱ� iPlayer and 91�ȱ� Red Button will all be offering up lots of content for students including daily lessons which will be made available online too.

The majority of school children across the different UK nations will be learning from home for the next few weeks at least as governments try to control the spread of the coronavirus with tougher measures.

The news that all schools in England would have to close until after the February half-term at the earliest was announced by prime minister Boris Johnson on Monday, just a day after the majority of primary school children in England headed back to their classrooms.

Welsh ministers have also confirmed that students in Wales will be learning remotely until at least mid-February.

The Scottish government introduced its lockdown this week and pupils won't be going back to school until the end of the month and in Wales, schools were told to move to online learning until the 18 January at the earliest.

During the first lockdown back in March, 91�ȱ� Bitesize ran daily lessons for students online and on iPlayer, but these weren't made available on regular TV channels.

From Monday, children will be provided with three hours worth of primary school lessons every weekday on C91�ȱ� and at least two hours for secondary school pupils on 91�ȱ� Two.

It's hoped the move will benefit lots of families, in particular those who may find it hard to provide internet access for their children to keep up with their studies.
