Explore learning and screen addiction

We all know the pandemic has essentially glued children to screens. Both in school and at home. While parents struggle for alternative entertainment while they too are working from home.

Explore learning, the high street tutor firm that essentially treats pupils as call centre staff. Sticking them in front of rows of screens. With occasional engagement with a low wage member of teaching staff. Who are really dressed up computer administrators.

They started the pandemic with nearly £50 million turnover in 2019. With close 150 centres across the country. The centres are like betting shops. As betting shops simply encourage more betting behaviour, Explore Learning encourages more screen time.

While the whole operation is a little fishy as in 2020 they used CVA mechanism to get out out their long term leases. While protecting share holders.
