Context
The discussion revolves around measures to reduce the educational disparity between pupils from economically advantaged and less fortunate backgrounds, focusing on early intervention and sustainability of funding for nursery schools.
Question
Does the Secretary of State agree that tackling this issue requires starting early? Will he commend the role of nursery schools in providing support and can he secure a long-term sustainable funding settlement for them?
Answer from Gavin Williamson (The Secretary of State for Education)
My hon. Friend is correct to highlight early action and support as crucial elements in tackling educational disparities. While I am eager to discuss the matter further with the Chancellor, it's important to note that we are already investing in initiatives such as the Nuffield early language interventions which have shown significant benefits for young children. We aim to build on this progress moving forward.
