“We are deeply disappointed that within the Chancellor’s package of measures, there is no long-term, strategic plan to deliver positive outcomes for young people.
Supporting young people today ensures they can fulfil their potential as the talented workforce of tomorrow.
A failure to focus on education is a failure to invest in the future. The Government should review the National Funding Formula to ensure that financial resources are more fairly distributed in proportion to need, develop a long-term strategy to close the attainment gap and commit to ending child poverty.”
Sarah Atkinson, CEO, The Social Mobility Foundation
