Education: What Labour's policies mean for you
A better plan for education
Labour has pledged in its manifesto to modernise the school curriculum but wants to build on the progress that has been made in recent years. The party says it will focus on delivering high and rising standards in early education, with childcare that delivers life chances for all. Labour also wants to add 20% VAT to private school fees, with the money raised going to pay for state school teachers.
Key takeaways from Keir Starmer's election policy launch
The five missions which Sir Keir said would form the backbone of the Labour manifesto and the pillars of the party's offer to the country are:
- To secure the highest sustained growth in the G7
- To build an NHS fit for the future
- To make Britain a clean energy superpower
- To unlock every child's potential by reforming education and skills
- To give everyone the security of a good home
