WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 2nd NOVEMBER 2020
Question
Given the commitment of resources for catch-up' programmes in schools, will the Minister advise how the allocated funds will be divided between the employment of –
- private tuition companies, providing details of the companies involved; and
- current teaching staff to provide lessons outside of normal times;
and will the Minister advise whether any staff will be expected to provide the catch-up' lessons during after school hours without receiving any extra payment and, if so, why?
Answer
- None of the allocated funds will be spent with private tuition companies.
- Allocated funds will only be spent with teachers, supply teachers and support staff who are currently employed in Government of Jersey schools. Tuition will take place outside of normal times after school and / or at weekends.
No staff will be expected to provide catch up tuition after school hours without receiving any extra payment. Any staff who apply to provide the tuition will do so on a voluntary basis and will be paid the agreed Supply Teacher rate, commensurate with experience.
