Poorer children in Kent and Medway are being left behind by the education system in the county.
That's according to a study by the Education Policy Institute which found that secondary school pupils on free school meals are more than 20 months behind the national standard.
The report's found it will take 500 years to close the gap with non-disadvantaged students.
But what do you think? Is this the case in your area? We asked shoppers in Medway.
