Labour will soon announce a blitz of new education policies including an offer for teachers to get more time off for training, it has emerged.
Sir Keir Starmer is poised to unveil his party's plans for an overhaul of Britain's education system as he compiles Labour's manifesto ahead of the general election.
According to the Daily Telegraph, this could see the Labour leader promise teachers a paid sabbatical for every five years of service.
Sir Keir is also said to be looking at reducing the reliance on exams to grade students and revamping the curriculum to 'provide a modernised syllabus'.
The Labour leader is expected to set out his plans for a shake-up of the school system and 'breaking down the barriers to opportunity' in the coming weeks, the newspaper reported.
