To the best of my knowledge, yes.
I suspect their view is that if a young child is isolating then an adult will be there to look after them (well you'd hope so), so they'd be able to support them.
Yet, it relies on the adult either having the time to support (not working from home) or the ability to do so; it also heavily relies on children having the technology.
It will unevenly support those who are not from poor or deprived areas and that's before considering language barriers, before even considering age limitations.
I feel that it's important that they should offer high quality education, which my wife's schools do whereas others didn't, but implementation is a nightmare.
She was even saying that they're expected to provide monitor usage and provide feedback, but how can you ensure parents comply?
Clear trend emerging.

Isolating and total lockdown are separate things though. Home education is not possible for primary school children unless there is an adult present full time to support it

Whats the point in even being alive if we're under permanent lockdowns for the foreseeable future? We just have to hope the vaccine works because at the moment this is just existing, its not living.
The government response to the whole thing has been an absolute disgrace, its that bad you could get random people off the street who would probably be more effective.
Oh I agree.
However, the point is that the government and DfE have apparently thrown the onus onto the schools to ensure that firstly it's available, and to some extent used.
Legally, a primary school child shouldn't be at home alone so in that sense they're not separate: if they're home they should be learning will be their argument.

Mental. It’s just a complete lack of understanding. But it doesn’t surprise

What is love?
Well yeah, but that's because most people on the streets aren't morally bankrupt gobshites who only want to please their pay masters.
Every single primary school in my area has an iPad for every kid my mum was telling me. No wonder they're all needing glasses these days.

They have failed at everything and they still would probably win an election if one was called tomorrow. This country is mental.

Measures should be taken to protect those most vulnerable without impacting too negatively on the vast majority of people’s lives. The reckoning from this for the younger generations will be seismic. Forcing healthy people out of work and locked down into their own homes is an absolutely massive failure of policy.
I think we're quite lucky in a way that it's happened now though compared to the past as the younger generations today have never had life so good inside their own house.
So preservation of life should or shouldn't be based on age? What if this virus was killing 0-5 year old children, would the view be the same?
What if it impacted the 20-25 year old bracket?
People in the hospital seem to think the restrictions are in from Monday.

At my school very posh school in Spain, everything was fine. All the children had devices and just as importantly the space to learn in their houses. Parents were also working from home so could troubleshoot IT problems. Funnily enough, it was us teachers who live in tiny flats with dodgy Internet that were struggling much more than the children.
Speaking to mates from my old primary school in Stockbridge Village they told a very different story. They did what they could in very difficult circumstances. It's all well and good enshrining things in law about online education but it won't happen unless you give teachers and families the resources.
