It beggars belief that Ministers haven’t resolved the impact of universal credit on allocating the pupil premium - Lucy Powell
Lucy Powell MP, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, commenting on calls from the Public Accounts Committee to support pupils who risk losing out, said:
“We have been warning the Government for some time that the introduction of Universal Credit will have knock on consequences for allocating the pupil premium. It beggars belief that they still haven’t resolved this issue.
“Ministers obviously still have their heads in the sand. With the attainment gap between poorer pupils and their peers widening, it’s vital that the Government takes urgent action to ensure that disadvantaged pupils don’t lose out and that the pupil premium is effective.”
