The UK's Education Secretary has said he is “determined” to make personal tutoring free to every pupil in England.
During an interview with the Sunday Express, Nadhim Zahawi said one-on-one teaching could become part of the national education system to help children who have fallen behind due to coronavirus lockdowns, according to the newspaper.
Speaking about tutoring, he said: “My target, and my instruction from my boss the Prime Minister, is to make it permanent. That means schools will have the ability to use tutoring for pupils when they need it. A teacher will identify where the gaps are in a child’s learning in maths and English, and communicate with parents how they are going to deal with that gap.”
