Migrant parents in Australia say they face extra challenges posed by the home learning model, including a language barrier.
Sydney mother Jing Hong almost broke down in tears trying to make sense of the remote learning curriculum, and the dozens of instructions given to her daughter for learning from home.
She said she was overwhelmed and confused by the instructions and materials provided by her oldest daughter's school."Compared to local parents, migrant parents have very little knowledge of the Australian primary and high school education system — we have to spend extra time to learn it from scratch."
