Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled a new target for half a million children to reach the EYFS Early Learning Goals by 2030, if the Labour party wins the next general election.
Delivering a speech on Labour’s education policy this morning in Kent, the Labour leader detailed the last of the party’s ‘five missions’, to ‘break down the barriers to opportunity at every stage, for every child’.
He warned that a ‘class ceiling’ is currently holding children back who are not born privileged.
The Labour leader said his party would put more focus on 'teaching speaking skills'.
