In 2023, nearly 40,000 teachers left the profession. As teachers leave, so do students. The number of home-schooled children is rising rapidly. Mental health challenges are cited as a major factor in these departures, both among teachers and students. Meanwhile, many SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) learners face lengthy delays in accessing the support they need<\/span>. Flip Computing believes that by harnessing the power of 3D technology, we can create inclusive learning environments where every student in Salford can thrive.<\/p>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<ul><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Follow us on Social Media<\/h3>\n<p>Follow our journey on social media, where we\u2019ll share regular updates, challenges, and victories.
