Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Morgan and Jayne Kirkham

Monday 4th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Morgan]

I note the hon. Member’s point on that specific college. As he will know, the Chancellor committed £1.4 billion at the Budget to drive the delivery of the current school rebuilding programme for next year. Over the coming weeks and months, we will work with trusts and local authorities to identify which schools will be in scope.

[Jayne Kirkham (Truro and Falmouth) (Lab/Co-op)]

T8. My constituency has some brilliant further education colleges and apprenticeship schemes, but some students struggle, retaking GCSE and functional skills maths and English over and over again. Will the Minister consider how the process could be done better, so that those students do not end up feeling like a failure as they retake and retake?
