Good schools and strong apprenticeships
Reading, writing and maths first.
The problem
Teachers have too much paperwork. That time is missing in class. At the same time, many businesses look for apprentices and find none. Apprenticeships have a worse name than they deserve.
My position
Every child should learn to read, write and count well. Teachers need time for their class, not for forms. An apprenticeship is a strong way into working life. Children and parents should learn that early.
What I promise
- Your child has teachers who have time to teach.
- Your child learns early that an apprenticeship is a good path.
What I will do
- Fewer forms for teachers
- Taster days in businesses from the second year of secondary school
- Less paperwork for training firms
What I have already done
I train apprentices in my business every year.
