You're viewing a single thread.
First the Tories snatch milk, now holidays.
Incorrect. Just pointing out that the information is in the article if you want to understand more.
England should ditch its school calendar “stuck in place since Victorian times” and replace it with shorter summer holidays and longer half-term breaks to improve the lives of pupils and teachers, according to a new report.
From the first paragraph.
The report on tackling post-pandemic education inequalities, to be published by the Nuffield Foundation next month, is to recommend an overhaul of the school calendar that could see summer holidays in state schools reduced from six weeks to four, while half-term breaks in autumn and winter could each be extended from one week to two.
From the second paragraph.
The call for changes follows proposals by the Welsh government for changes to its school year starting in 2025-26
Are the Tories also in charge of education in Wales? 🤔
No, no they are not, annnnnnnd 6 months and they won't be in charge in England either - not that I'm counting down or anything.....
😂
