A LABOUR MP's attempt to shame the Government over "endemic inequalities" in child education amid the pandemic backfired as BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire reminded her of the staggering amount that had been committed.
A National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) report has suggested that children in England are three months behind in their studies after the coronavirus lockdown. The Government has announced £1billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up. However, Labour MP Debbie Abrahams butted heads with BBC host Victoria Derbyshire when she tried to dispute the usefulness of the pledge.
