Baroness Coussins (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 September 2024

Debate

Erasmus+

Contribution

Given the critical shortage of qualified language teachers—second only to maths, according to the DfE’s own figures—does she agree that rejoining Erasmus would be a sensible move and that it would help the Government achieve their stated aim of recruiting more teachers for shortage subjects?
