School pays for private tuition to help with exams

By ITS Education Asia


An east London secondary school with high levels of deprivation is paying for private tuition to help pupils with their GCSE exams.

Assistant head Naomi Dews said her pupils should not miss out on private tuition available to richer families. She says the school decided to level the playing field by using £10,000 per year of its pupil premium to pay for tuition for students taking or re-taking GCSE maths.

Stacey, a pupil who has been using the maths tutors, says she has "definitely made progress."

"You can spend time on things you struggle with," she says. "All young people should have the same opportunity."

What do you think? Should the government make funds available in Hong Kong to help economically disadvantaged students receive additional tuition support?
