The sources are about the
resignation of Sir Kevan Collins.
He is an education expert who the
Government put in charge of helping
school pupils ‘catch-up’ with their
education after the Covid lockdowns
in 2020–2021.

Collins said it would cost £14 billion
and the school day would need to
be lengthened. He was only offered
£1.4 billion and no change to the
length of the school day. Collins
resigned as a result of this.

The sources also refer to Boris
Johnson, the Prime Minister at the
time.

The Daily Mirror is a left-wing
tabloid. The Daily Express is
a right-wing tabloid.
