More details

I am a teacher in a disadvantaged school and I want to see the government allocating funding and teacher training , focusing as a matter of emergency on our pupils’ well-being , mental health and building up resilience and confidence. There should be an emphasis on deprived areas, disadvantaged groups of pupils where the Isolation and the lockdown had brought serious repercussions on their personal and academic development.
