The government has appointed three providers to run the National Tutoring Programme, replacing under-fire Randstad as figures reveal takeup is more than 200,000 courses below target.

But ministers have repeatedly promised two million starts this academic year alone, and new figures show they have achieved only 1,781,946 since September.
