the education committee heard that ministers had been aware of the risks. saying, rather describing in a nutshell, not me, is that a fair reflection of the statement? i think it's he made clear in the statement, we fully accept our share of responsibility for what has gone wrong this year. i have personally apologised to students and parents for what has been as we recognise, and extremely anxiety making incident. it has been disruptive to this years candidates, it is been disruptive to the higher education, it has been disruptive to the next years candidates. you say in your statement, but specifically, is my summary of the statement accurate in your view? but we would point towards is that the mistakes, the fundamental mistake is to believe that this would ever be acceptable to the public. the prime minister has put the problems down to a "mutant algorithm". quual said there'd been a public consultation on the principles of the algorithm. we, at the same time set up a working group with technical representatives from the examples and decisions —— represen

and on the education committee, a conservative mp is left holding the baby. sorry, thank you.ould like to understand what did quual do once they had seen what happened in scotland 7 but first, prime minister's questions, the first commons clash between borisjohnson and sir keir starmer since july. the labour leader focused his early questions on the chaos over the grades for students unable to take exams due to the coronavirus pandemic. the prime minister sidestepped a challenge to reveal when he knew there was a problem with the algorithm used to allocate grades. he either knew and did nothing about the algorithm, or he did not know when he should have. so, i'll ask again, when did the prime minister first know there would be a problem with the algorithm? mr speaker, as you know perfectly well, quual made it absolutely clear time and again that in their view, the system that was in place was robust, an independent organisation and credit had to be given to their due. he accused keir starmer of undermining confidence in the return to school. i think you'll be a fine thing toda

the education secretary, gavin williamson, faced the chair of the commons education committee. 339 schools are either closed or partially closed. and what message can you give to teachers, support staff, parents and pupils that there will be a fast testing, track—and—tracing mechanism in schools, so you can reassure everybody who is in education? gavin williamson said 99.9% of schools in england had opened. we've always been conscious that, with children coming back into schools, there was going to be a situation where people would need more access to testing. that is why we ensured those deliveries of tests to every single school in england. that's why we, this morning, opened up the ordering system for schools to be able to order new tests, for them to be able to get those directly from the nhs, so they're able to alter supply. can you give a testing guarantee whereby if there is a suspected outbreak, whether it's a staff member or a child or a parent, that they could get some kind of testing within 48 hours? and also that they don't have to travel a long distance to get that

for a statement from the government in parliament, so is the conservative chair of the education select committeeion is devolved, so i don't think it willjust be the education secretary gavin williamson coming under political pressure but, of course, this all comes off the back of the exams saga we saw over the summer. the extent to which this issue will build up over the coming weeks, i think it depends partly on to what extent we see more coronavirus on campuses, more stu d e nts coronavirus on campuses, more students having to isolate. i think, if that increases, so will the political pressure. jessica parker, oui’ political pressure. jessica parker, our political correspondent. detectives investigating the shooting of sgt matt ratana in croydon on friday are searching properties in south london and close to the village of banstead in surrey. the 23—year—old suspect is critically injured and detectives are unable to question him. sgt ratana was remembered this morning at the national police memorial day service and also at east grinstead rugby club, where he was head coach. tom symonds reports

that we have a public report if you look at things that robert half in the chair of the education select committeeaid, pointing out potential problems. so i think that generally speaking, i think there is plenty of evidence to suggest gavin williamson should have been aware there were problems coming up the track but i think ultimately it does feel as though his position is secure for now in dentistry have decided to stick with them. and i think with the return of schools today and throughout the week, i think should they continue going to plan, ithink think should they continue going to plan, i think number ten is his biggest test and that you turn on a level. the biggest risk restrictions in glasgow after a rise in virus restrictions there. that has a side baron restrictions there. that has a side bar on the front page of the guardian. scotland reacting very quickly but this will cause a lot of problems and inconvenience people there. that's right. we have got these three areas here seeing similar levels of restrictions we have seen in some areas of england, especially in the northwest. people w

the house of commons education select committee has investigated special educational needs provision.is the child the priority at the moment? i think that, at the moment, the system mitigates against the child being the priority, because what we have created is an adversarial system, a treacle of bureaucracy for parents to navigate through. what seems to happen is it's not the child that is at the centre, it's the process, which is the bureaucracy, which seems to be at the centre, so that unless you are sharp—elbowed or well— heeled and navigate the system, you won't get that proper care, necessarily, for your child. the local government association represents councils in england. i don't recognise that, because i think that what we want to try and do is make it as simple and as efficient as possible for parents. however, there are criteria that have to be assessed, and that may be where there's some parents who're finding they're having stumbling blocks. when tom browne moved to kent with his wife and three children, he thought he had the wherewithal to navigate the system. i mean, b

our purpose today is the senate's education committee, is to inform the work of the commerce committee by considering the impact of such payments on the tradition of the student athletes. it would make sense to take a minute to consider exactly who and what we are talking about. last year, there were about 20 million undergraduates. that was in about 6000 colleges and universities in the united states. nearly 1100 of those 6000 colleges and universities are members of the ncaa. more than 460,000 young men and women participate in 24 different sports each year. about one quarter of 1 million contests. about 300 of those institutions play football and basketball at the highest level. fewer than 2% of student athletes will go on to play professional sports according to the ncaa. so this means we are talking about approximately 9000 college student athletes who compete in a few sports out of more than 460,000 college athletes across 24 sports. so the current controversy is primarily about an even smaller number. a small percentage of those 9000 students who play football, baseball or men's

the chair of the education select committee, the conservative mp robert halfon has tweeted he would likegovernment as to what will happen next. it's worth pointing out it is a devolved issue. so, as well, people might want to hear from respective ministers in scotland, wales and northern ireland. but here is what the culture secretary, oliver dowden, had to say this morning. well, clearly, the experience is not as it would be, given this crisis. but we are doing that in order to reduce the spread of the disease and enable them to go back at all. and i think it's important for students not to have to give up a year of their life by not going to university. and they are going to university, and paying the fees accordingly. i think to what extent this issue becomes even more highly charged will depend on whether we keep seeing more and more students heading to university, having to self—isolate, questioning, in some cases, whether they are getting value for money. so, i think this issue could run on into the next few weeks. let's speak now tojonny butler — a first year student at leeds beck

as the republican leader of the education and labor committee, the consequences of this legislation within the education community are very clear. the creation of a private right of action would lead to additional burdens on already packed state and local agencies. especially school systems who would have to depend themselves against tenuous allegations advanced by parents and activists. through such lawsuits, these activists could require state and local governments to adopt a myriad of policies that congress and state and local lawmakers never authorized or intended. nd cost those entities a lot f money paid to trial lawyers. h.r. 2574 also creates a new special assistant for equity and inclusion at the department of education. rather than create multiple siloed positions competing for resources and attention, committee republicans believe an integrated approach to the education department's equity and inclusion efforts would lead to better results. republicans and democrats largely agree on the importance of equality and integrated schools. unfortunately, instead of working toward a bip

hayes elected in my class, teacher of the year a couple years ago, she brought up on the education and workforce committee brings up these things. if you haven't worked in the classroom a policymaker wouldn't even think of and when it came to housing and mental health and other areas, just a blank slate, elected officials might look like it. also it is a different form of governance working in the nonprofit sector or social services you know what it takes, you look at human value in a different way. you take a trajectory, a career, i am sure there are plenty of lawyers watching but it is a typical pathway for politics, they never managed people, part of becoming a lawyer, you can argue, come up with laws or read laws but overseeing people and being a leader is a piece of it all that is often missed, hope to see more diverse background and experience. >> you have been watching some of the are in the sea. >> i have been seeing on twitter what has been happening on the recap. >> a colleague how california, the poster child for republicans -- >> guest: they hate us. they think we are awful. >> host: your reac

on behalf of the community advisory committee for special education, i wanted to make a few comments here. we've commented not only on the student assignment, but at the september 14th meeting for the budget service committee, where we saw the transportation presentation. the recurring theme here between student assignment and transportation is that the inequity is a cost driver. the fact that we don't have supports and services and programs at all of our schools means that -- >> going forward -- [simultaneous talking] >> our students have to be driven across town in some cases to get the appropriate program. and we have routes that go across the bay into multiple counties. one of the ways that we can fix this would be providing more support and services in our district, providing more supports and services at every school. and we would bring special education costs down and our transportation costs down. when we talk, though, also about i.e. p.s, if you've ever been to an i.e. p. meeting, you talk about the team. and transportation is a related service. our bus drivers are a part of

honest ads act but about education and awareness building and senator klobuchar as an education bill stuck in committee as well and it's difficult with the way our federal education system works. you can't tell states what to do but you can give them grants to develop this curriculum together with experts to implement it not only through our schools but to voting age populations as well for things like libraries as well as civil society organizations that are locally based in the state so that's something i would love to see and more investment in public media. one of the reasons i decided to read that expert is not just to pat myself on the back. but because today we have news that the us agency for global media with overseas voice of america and radio free europe is tracking down even more on the freedom that the journalists there were enjoying and there was news that foreign journalists who work for those agencies will get their visas renewed at the end of their visas which i think is a shame and these are two vectors that our region, voice of america and rfp have a huge positive impact and a good b
