Funding for national tutoring programme in England to be doubled next academic year

Government agrees to reverse policy of cutting subsidy, with remaining amount being paid by schools

Ministers are to double funding for the government's flagship tutoring programme.

The national tutoring programme (NTP) was launched in November 2020 to help children in England make up for learning lost during the coronavirus pandemic, when schools were closed to most pupils for months at a time during 2019 and 2020.
