In the UK, even before COVID there was a government funded Pupil Premium programme [1] which gave funding for disadvantaged pupils to get private tutoring. Additionally, during COVID, there is a new National Tutoring Programme which allows all schools to get funding for private tutoring [2]. I think it's really important that private online tutoring shouldn't be restricted to well-off parents, as it just perpetuates the poverty gap.
