(View all written questions)The department is assessing the capacity of the education system as part of our work to deliver the Opportunity Mission. This is why we are starting by recruiting 6,500 additional teachers to address workforce shortages, creating 3,000 new or expanded school-based nurseries to increase the availability of high quality affordable childcare places and launching Skills England which will play a pivotal role in making sure our skills system meets the needs of young people and employers. We are also investing more in children’s services to set them on a sustainable trajectory and have announced new funding for kinship care and fostering to keep children safe and provide family security for our most vulnerable children.
