COMMENT FROM NEVIL CHILES, MD OF K&C TUTORS & WEBTUTORNET
BBC website story http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-23973213
It has to be true that pupils receiving extra help will be at an advantage.
For almost all students receiving private tuition there will be a cost and so cold hard economics will obviously come into play.
Here at K & C Tutors we were involved with Westminster Council in a scheme called Making Good Progress which gave struggling pupils ten hours of both and English and Maths tuition during school time and funded by the government. Unfortunately the scheme ended with the sweeping public cuts following the recent economic downturn.
Surely this kind of project is the way forward to bridge the gap?
