hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are tom newton dunn, chief political commentator at times radio and sonia sodia, chief leader writer at the observer. lovely to have you both back with us. let's take a look at some of the front pages we already have. the mirror's front page focusses on the huge logistical challenge of getting pupils back to schools, saying head teachers will have to stagger the return due to the new testing regime being put in place. the guardian also looks at the announcement made by the education secretary today, and highlights the news that teachers will get powers to decide exam grades this year. the times reports concerns from experts who say the plans could jeopardise the credibility of the qualifications and lead to widespread grade inflation.

the i's front page looks at a new campaign encouraging the public to stay at home and not to drop their guard because of the warmer weather. to next week's budget, the express reports warnings from senior tory mps to not raise taxes to help people and businesses bounce back from the covid pandemic. the daily mail says rishi sunak will use the budget next week to pave the way for a post—lockdown boom. and festivals are back! the metro's front page says this summer will rock after all, as festivals announce they'll be going ahead this year. rather optimistic headline from the metro. let's talk with our guests. thanks very much to both of you for being with us. let's start with the times,

with us. let's start with the times, with you, tom. this idea the schools are being told to work out their grades. we had a double dose of gavin williamson earlier on wednesday. we're going to hear from him again on thursday, and looking forward to what we can expect. it will be teachers rather than algorithms which will predict or give grades of their students. this is all the detail— give grades of their students. ti 3 is all the detail of the new system of how kids will get their grades the summer. we knew exams were going to happen about a month or so ago. it was going to be teacher led. what's interesting is this couldn't be further away from the algorithm system last summer, which gives way to such a shambles and had to be cancelled altogether. there were huge cries of unfairness. this is very much a system putting teachers,

the benefit of the doubt with teachers. 0nly the benefit of the doubt with teachers. only on what they, their own peoples themselves, have been taught. which i suppose is a recently fair —— reasonably fair starting point. some have had incredibly good online schooling, others, more disadvantaged children, might have next to nothing. it's going to be very hard indeed to try and judge anyone comparing apples and judge anyone comparing apples and pears, really. with the teachers, huge downside the papers to call upon, it would naturally lead to great inflation. if you don't have... it's very difficult and the threat of course is rather than having pupils having an

accepted set of grades, you can have 2021, potentially 22 in history as the year that's not looking work it —— worth looking at people because �*s grades. —— people's grades. let's hope they don't. a problem for the government in terms of persuading is notjust fairfor government in terms of persuading is notjust fair for children now but not just fair for children now but for employers notjust fair for children now but for employers going forward and decades to come. fine for employers going forward and decades to come.— for employers going forward and decades to come. one of the things that was outlined _ decades to come. one of the things that was outlined as _ decades to come. one of the things that was outlined as well _ decades to come. one of the things that was outlined as well is - decades to come. one of the things that was outlined as well is that - that was outlined as well is that there will be a robust appeals mechanism, the importance that if people are unhappy with their grades, they will be able to appeal it. because of that, the results will be brought forward so that people will have a longer time to appeal should they feel they need to. . �* , ~ appeal should they feel they need to. ., �*, 4' , to. that's right. i think hopefully it will work _ to. that's right. i think hopefully it will work better _ to. that's right. i think hopefully it will work better this _ to. that's right. i think hopefully it will work better this year, - to. that's right. i think hopefully it will work better this year, but| to. that's right. i think hopefully| it will work better this year, but i think_ it will work better this year, but i think it's — it will work better this year, but i think it's important to say that if you accept— think it's important to say that if you accept that children and young

people _ you accept that children and young people have missed so much school this academic year and in the last academic— this academic year and in the last academic year, that you can't run exams, _ academic year, that you can't run exams, then_ academic year, that you can't run exams, then there'sjust no perfect way of— exams, then there'sjust no perfect way of doing this. i do think that some _ way of doing this. i do think that some of— way of doing this. i do think that some of the concerns that tom has outlined _ some of the concerns that tom has outlined are — some of the concerns that tom has outlined are quite depressing, actually, — outlined are quite depressing, actually, so you've got expert commentary out there today and tomorrow — commentary out there today and tomorrow from experts like the educational policy institute, saying this lack_ educational policy institute, saying this lack of moderation, the algorithm didn't work but were there other— algorithm didn't work but were there other ways _ algorithm didn't work but were there other ways the government could have brought _ other ways the government could have brought in— other ways the government could have brought in some moderation to ensure that you _ brought in some moderation to ensure that you don't see quite wild inflation _ that you don't see quite wild inflation and ensure there is some standardisation between schools? because _ standardisation between schools? because when it comes down to it, it's really_ because when it comes down to it, it's really young people who are failed _ it's really young people who are failed lry— it's really young people who are failed by a system that doesn't assess— failed by a system that doesn't assess them in a fair and robust way _ assess them in a fair and robust way and — assess them in a fair and robust way and i— assess them in a fair and robust way. and i think that's why when you spoke _ way. and i think that's why when you spoke to— way. and i think that's why when you spoke to young people going into last summer, lots of young people were saying they really were desperate to take their exams because —

desperate to take their exams because they know that it's a relatively fair way of assessing them — relatively fair way of assessing them and i think it's particularly true for— them and i think it's particularly true for young people with disadvantaged backgrounds. there is lots of— disadvantaged backgrounds. there is lots of research that shows that sometimes teacher —based assessment does worse _ sometimes teacher —based assessment does worse than those young people than exams because schools can have lower— than exams because schools can have lower expectations of young people in disadvantaged backgrounds. from my personal — in disadvantaged backgrounds. from my personal experience, _ in disadvantaged backgrounds. ign'rrrn my personal experience, when it comes to predictive grades, i didn't do that well. it's the exams that focus your mind, so a lot of care will need to be paid to those children. but it's not an easy task, as the daily mirror picks up on. we're looking at a date for children to potentially be going back, those that weren't at school, the 8th of march. but the mirror is looking at the possibility of that not happening across the board. yeah, the mirror says it's a

shambles, and i suppose this is based on a disappointment. the government announced children will government announced children will go back to school on march the 8th itself. i date met with great jubilation with —— a date met with greatjubilation from teachers. two different tests twice and that week on all different pupils, and that's a huge logistical operation. it takes a lot of space. so, i think there's very little chance that the angen there's very little chance that the anger, that the kids are going to start learning on march the 8th. it may take a whole week before getting the whole school back, but maybe it's just a the whole school back, but maybe it'sjust a communication problem. it's hard to see how on earth schools will get back safely, but perhaps the thought here is just to explain the complications first. interesting. we also heard about the

amounts of extra funding that schools will receive to top up lessons to get some kind of summer school going. it'll be interesting to see how many children will take that up because it's been difficult for children, let's face it, working from home, to go into summer school. it's been massively difficult, but i'm it's been massively difficult, but i'm afraid — it's been massively difficult, but i'm afraid that you look at this funding — i'm afraid that you look at this funding and you think it isjust a relative — funding and you think it isjust a relative drop in the ocean. the funding — relative drop in the ocean. the funding that's been made available so far— funding that's been made available so far has— funding that's been made available so far has reached 120,000 pupils. thats— so far has reached 120,000 pupils. that's a _ so far has reached 120,000 pupils. that's a tiny, tiny fraction of even the pupils— that's a tiny, tiny fraction of even the pupils on free school meals, so that's— the pupils on free school meals, so that's children from the poorest backgrounds. so, i've been incredibly disappointed in this government. it is true that there's 'ust government. it is true that there's just no— government. it is true that there's just no way— government. it is true that there's just no way around it, that there are going — just no way around it, that there are going to be many children that miss months of school, but the government has done so little thinking — government has done so little thinking around how to mediate some of those _

take a 2—0 advantage into their champions league last 16—second leg against borussia moenchengladbach. pep guardiola's side took the lead just before the half hour mark through bernardo silva, and they doubled their advantage on 65 minutes when gabriel jesus tapped home. so, city well placed to make the quarter finals with the second leg at the etihad stadium on the 16th of march. while real madrid will take a 1—0 lead into their second leg after ferland mendy scored a quite wonderful winner against ten—man atalanta in bergamo. tottenham hotspur have breezed through to the last 16 of the europa league. spurs already had a 4—1 advantage from the first leg in austria and took the lead in spectacular style through dele alli. it was only dele's 17th appearance in all competitions this season, but that was a real contender for goal of the season. dele then set up another man who's only featured fleetingly this season —
