Alternative provision projects receive £4m funding boost

2 mins read Education
Nine projects to support better education of pupils in alternative provision are to share £4m of funding from the Department for Education.

The projects include maths tutoring, careers advice, support for parents, work to help young people return to mainstream or special schools, and exploring the use of robots in hospitals to encourage pupils to take part in lessons virtually.

"There are some excellent examples of alternative provision in the education system, but we need to raise standards across the board if we want to give every young person the opportunity to succeed," said schools standards minister Nick Gibb.

"These new projects will develop new ways of doing this which can be shared around the country, so that we can improve education for every child and make sure they receive support to meet their individual needs."
