The BBC has set up a segment, Bitesize Daily, for children to continue learning during the coronavirus lockdown. It will include over 200 teachers, including celebrities, who will provide educational content to kids in the UK. The BBC teamed up with teachers and education specialists to come up with this 14-week program.
Sir David Attenborough will step in as a virtual teacher, covering the world map, oceans and animals in the wildlife in his lessons.
You can also expect to see other personalities teaching children about topics they are experts in. For example, Manchester City soccer star Sergio Aguero will teach young viewers how to count in Spanish, while pop stars Liam Payne and Mabel will teach music and reading to secondary school children.
