IF EVER educators needed confirmation of how out of touch the Department for Education is with the reality of education in Britain, then the recent schools white paper would surely be it.
Sadly, it’s not surprising that the white paper falls far short in terms of any promising changes to education policy, nor does it offer any significant additional funding.
The plan comes with a pledge of £5 billion, which is far short of what is needed to address the serious shortfalls in education funding and is only a third of the recommended figure for education recovery from recovery tsar Kevan Collins.
