Shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson addressed the Labour Party conference in Liverpool this morning, where she announced plans to reform primary maths. Here’s what she said.
Growing up in the North East in the 1990s, it was teachers and support staff like Jayne [Kirkham, an MP candidate who introduced Phillipson], who not only gave me an amazing education, but in doing so, taught me so much about why education matters.
They saw the value and worth, in each and every one of us.
And I never forget, that I am standing here today, above all, because I was lucky.
