The shadow secretary of state for education, Kate Green, was in the Downtown Den to discuss Labour’s plans of getting children back into the classroom at the earliest opportunity, creating proposals that can help young people ‘catch up’ on what has been a challenging year for many of them, the exams fiasco and the need for Further Education, Vocational studies, and apprenticeships to be part of the solution moving forward.
