Teachers to work one-to-one

Children struggling with literacy and maths could get free one-to-one tuition from teachers under new government proposals.
The scheme will be run on a trial basis in ten authorities from April. Children would have up to 20 hours tuition in either maths, literacy, or both from a qualified teacher outside normal lesson time.
The scheme will target children in the bottom 5% in maths and literacy at Key Stages two and three.
