£10 million of funding to be put into local schools in the North

The Chancellor and the Education Secretary plan to improve education standards in the North, with £10 million of funding going into local schools. This which will enable the area’s best academies to share their excellence through becoming sponsors of underperforming local schools. Amongst other things their expertise will be used to help improve exam results, providing young people with better opportunities for the future.

Alongside this, a new technical school in Newcastle has also been announced which will enable thousands of young people to be trained as IT and healthcare science experts.
