MP: Pupils must have essential skills
This morning the Government has announced a £1.4 billion investment in education to help pupils recover from the pandemic. This will include £1 billion to support up to 6 million 15-hour tutoring courses for disadvantaged children and to expand the 16-19 tuition fund, targeting key subjects such as maths and English; £253 million to expand existing teacher development, giving 500,000 teachers the chance to access quality training at whatever stage in their career; and £153 million to provide early years practitioners with evidence-based professional development.
John said,
“I welcome this major investment in education, which builds on the £1.7 billion the Government has already made available in catch-up support. The disruption of the pandemic has taken a toll on pupils’ education, and it is right that the Government takes steps to remedy this to ensure the next generations have the essential skills to achieve their potential and succeed in the global marketplace.”
