 Let’s face it, even if it wasn’t for the intervention of COVID-19, the entire tuition system has been creaking at the seams for some years, and it seems to be under mounting pressure to deliver a high standard of education.  According to the British Educational Supplies Association, there are currently 32,770 schools in the UK, of which 26,360 are registered as Primary schools.
