Labour has announced a series of education policies ahead of a “major speech” on the subject by Sir Keir Starmer later this week.
The party said earlier this year that education would be one of the Labour leader’s five “missions” that will shape its manifesto and the party’s focus if it gains power.
It pledged to “break down the barriers to opportunity at every stage, for every child, by reforming the childcare and education systems, raising standards everywhere, and preparing young people for work and life”.
Labour has said its proposals will embed “world-class teaching for every child” and drive “high and rising standards”.
