Education secretary Nadim Zahawi has said he is ‘determined’ to push ahead with an initiative that would mean every school pupil would get one-to-one personal tutors.
The Tory minister said that, until now tutoring had been a way for wealthier parents to ensure their children get ahead, and said he wants that advantage for all pupils.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express, the education secretary said he and the Prime Minister were ‘determined’ this would happen, despite only a fraction of schools in many areas taking up an initial project to increase one-to-one tutoring because they didn’t have all the money to pay for it.
