Reactive Comments

In response to the Prime Minister’s announcement of his plan for every child to study maths till 18:

Rhys Howells, Managing Director at Eteach Group, said:

“Whilst the desire to enhance young people’s mathematical abilities is welcomed, there is a clear need to take a whole sector approach which not only delivers the government’s ambition but also addresses the wider issues facing the sector.

“It is necessary to ensure future plans do not place additional pressure on teachers already in post nor exacerbate the current shortages of specialist teachers. Recruitment and retention must go hand in hand if we are to establish a continuous pipeline of skilled educators who can provide excellent standards of education for every child in the UK.”

In response to the Sutton Trust’s report on tutoring in England and Wales:

Lucy Spencer, Tutoring Director at Education Boutique, said: 

"Everyone has a stake in the success of our education system and tutoring provides so much more than this report suggests. It's important to consider findings like these within the context of the bigger picture. 

"Tutoring not just about entrance exams, remote learning and The National Tutoring Programme; post pandemic, tutoring needs are more diverse than ever before. With 23.4% of pupils across England persistently absent, it is high time we recognise the greater role that tutoring can play in tackling absence rates, reintegrating pupils back into a suitable education setting and personalising learning journeys for children with additional needs."
