Use EducationCity to Prevent Summer Learning Loss
We all know that the summer holidays give students a chance to wind down. However, studies have found that a
prolonged break away from school can mean students can regress academically.
To stop this learning loss, EducationCity's Home Access is at hand! With it, students can simply
log in to EducationCity and continue their learning throughout the summer. Used by students anytime, anywhere, and giving parents the chance to engage with their child's learning, it's great for summer holiday learning! To read more about it, click here.
