Education recovery commissioner tells MPs children will need long-term support plan
The government’s newly appointed education recovery commissioner has warned that the prime minister’s £1.7bn catch-up package is not sufficient and that England’s children will need a sustained, far-reaching recovery plan.
Sir Kevan Collins, who was recently appointed to lead the government’s catch-up strategy, told MPs on the influential cross-party education committee he hoped the disruption caused by the pandemic would lead to long-term education reform and that the crisis had exposed underlying scars in the system.
