Early research on remote learning from the Grattan Institute suggested students from disadvantaged backgrounds lost about a month of learning during term two, learning at about 50 per cent of their regular rate.
"If you’ve got family members who are illiterate, for whom English is not their first language, or who have addiction problems, they can’t provide the levels of support that other families might be able to provide," Professor Wilkinson said.
"Teachers can provide some level of support, but it's not like the level of support they can get when they’re actually in school, face to face with a teacher all day."
Meanwhile, Independent Schools Victoria has told its schools they can implement remote learning from the start of term three, but advised them to wait until the state government announces a formal return to learning from home.
