Do children need their own bedroom to reach "academic potential"?

The British Education Secretary has been criticised for claiming that every child needs a “room of one’s own” to reach their academic potential.
Critics have pointed out that new rules introduced in the UK say that children under 16 in a home receiving housing benefit have to share a room with a sibling of the same gender.
The measures, dubbed a ‘bedroom tax’, also state that brothers and sisters will have to share a room until the age of 10.
What do you think? Do children need their own bedroom? Is it reasonable to expect them to share with siblings?
