00:00One in seven secondary school students say they struggle to revise at home because they do not have a desk
00:05or suitable workspace, according to a new survey.
00:09More than half of those asked said they feel at a disadvantage compared to classmates because of their home environment.
00:16One in five said they do not have a quiet space to study each day, while many report regular disruption
00:22from noise or other responsibilities.
00:25Education leaders say the findings highlight inequalities affecting academic attainment.
00:30There are calls for more supervised study spaces, including keeping schools open beyond normal hours.
00:37But unions warn extra support would require additional funding and staffing.
