Ensure Fair Education: Improve Teacher Coverage & Specialist Support
Public school children lack protection as teacher shortages and long sick leaves without cover lower education standards. This widens the gap between state and private schools, especially in the North. Stronger regulations and better pay are vital to ensure fair opportunities and uphold standards.
Public school children lack protection in the education system. Teachers taking long sick leave without proper cover lowers education standards, limiting social mobility—especially for working-class students. A shortage of specialist teachers in core subjects widens the gap between state and private - leaving northern schools at a disadvantage. Sronger regulations & pay are essential to uphold educational standards, ensure fair opportunities for all children, and protect the rights of taxpayers.
