Responding to the resignation of the Education Recovery Commissioner Sir Kevan Collins, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Education Daisy Cooper said: “Sir Kevan was a good appointment and many of us were cheering him on. The Government’s pitiful offer of a £1.4bn to support a generation of young people who have lost months of learning was an insult to him and to our young people.
“Our children deserve better than this useless Education Secretary. Time and time again he keeps getting it wrong. It really is the last straw – the Education Secretary has to go.”
