Boris Johnson speaks on education catch up

The transcript discusses the government's education recovery funding, which is only 10% of what is deemed necessary. Despite this, more funding is expected. The government has previously invested £14 billion to increase funding for primary and secondary education and to raise teachers' starting salaries. The pandemic has affected students' learning, but many have shown resilience. To address learning loss, a large-scale tutoring program is being implemented, offering 15 weekly sessions to improve student attainment. This initiative aims to provide personalized attention to students, helping them catch up and discover their potential.
