Department prioritises quality and training to build a sustainable National Tutoring Programme market.
Conclusion
We asked the Department how it would create a sustainable tuition market, given the different skills needed for tutoring and classroom teaching. It told us that quality was key and that, important though finding additional tutors was, effective practice and use of evidence for how effective tutoring is delivered were essential. The Department emphasised the National Tutoring Programme’s focus on training. Over 20,000 people had been through that training, which it said had resulted in a long-term legacy of more people in schools skilled to deliver one-to-one and small group tutoring.52 44 Qq 104, 112, 113 45 C&AG’s Report, Figure 4 46 C&AG’s Report, para 1.17 47 ERS0007 The Tutor Trust, page 9 48 ERS0002 Action Tutoring page 7 49 Qq 93, 95 50 Q 95 51 Q 96 52 Q 110 Education recovery in schools in England 13 Tracking progress towards the ambitions in the Schools White Paper
