Sky News published this video item, entitled “BREAKING: Education Secretary defends COVID catch up plan for schools” – below is their description.
A COVID catch up plan to help children in England make up on lost lessons, costing £1.4bn, is being unveiled by the government.
But plans to add half an hour to the school day, extending it from 8am to 5pm or 6pm, have been postponed after a reported Whitehall row over the cost.
One union has described the Government’s plans as “pitiful”.
But the Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has defended the government’s action plan.
