According to a story published in The Times, “School children in England will now be offered 15 hours of free tuition to help them catch up after months of lost learning during the pandemic.” This plan may in turn help teachers to earn more by working longer hours. “Under the £1.5 billion scheme, almost all pupils aged 5-16 will be offered extra lessons in groups of up to three. The courses, which will be introduced this summer, will include after school and holiday clubs. Disadvantaged pupils will be given priority,” the report said.
This scheme includes more than 500,000 training courses A senior government source described the tutoring scheme as a “marathon, not a sprint”, adding: “We are committed to ensuring no child loses out on their education because of the necessary steps taken to control the pandemic.”
