Qualifications

Debate between Baroness Berridge and Earl of Kinnoull

Tuesday 3rd November 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Berridge (Con)]

Actually, the UTCs are a mixed picture. Some have achieved that link with local employers, where they have strong themes and do outreach. I hosted a round table of the successful UTCs, because it is important that we pass on their success, particularly in pupil recruitment, which is the key factor for those that are not successful. So we stand behind that, but I recognise that swift decisions need to be taken for those that, unfortunately, have not had such success.

[The Deputy Speaker (The Earl of Kinnoull) (Non-Afl)]

My Lords, the time allowed for this Question has now elapsed. We come, therefore, to the third Oral Question.

Covid-19: Schools

Debate between Baroness Berridge and Earl of Kinnoull

Thursday 14th May 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Berridge]

Noble Lords will be aware that the scientific evidence we rely on comes from the SAGE committee. Obviously, I join the noble Lord in paying tribute to the hard work of so many parents, teachers and support staff who have not only delivered school meals but printed out worksheets and delivered work to people’s doors. We will move toward the reopening of all schools but this is contingent on scientific advice, which is the best way forward.

[The Deputy Speaker]

My Lords, I very much regret that the time allotted is now up. The day’s Virtual Proceedings are now complete.
