Headteachers and education trusts across the UK have highlighted home connectivity as a major concern for students that have fallen behind in their studies due to COVID-19 restrictions, particularly in deprived areas.
These free SIMs will help those students most in need to access their work from home, catch up on lost learning during school holidays and continue their education if they are required to isolate.
Vodaphone have already given 250,000 free data SIMs to 7000 participating schools as part of their schools.connected plan, and they are now offering an extra 100,000 SIMs - with 30GB data for 90 days - to help students #KeepConnecting across the UK.
The plan has recently been expanded to include colleges, as well as primary and secondary schools.
