The government has announced £1 million in funding for new education programmes to help support Gypsy, Roma and Traveller pupils. There will be a range of pilot programmes which will involve a range of targeted work, including reducing drop-out rates by engaging families with pre-school children and those transitioning from primary to secondary school, targeting young people not in education, employment or training, and tutoring for catch-up lessons to support pupils whose education has been disrupted by the pandemic.
