	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The additional funding announced by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, in June 2018 is helping to improve the capacity and capability of governors, including training for chairs and vice-chairs through our existing governance leadership programmes. These programmes are available to eligible participants in Opportunity North East local authorities and the £500 rate will fully fund participation of the chair or vice-chair of governors. For ONE Vision schools, where governor training is identified as a priority by the analysis of need for both the chair or vice-chair, additional support will be provided. More information on the national programme can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-governors-professional-development" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-governors-professional-development</a>.</p><p>The government’s careers strategy, published in 2017, called for more evidence of effective approaches in primary schools to allow schools to learn from best practice and build their expertise. We asked our delivery partner, the Careers &amp; Enterprise Company, to publish research on ‘what works’ in career-related learning activities in primary school. The findings have informed a £2 million investment fund to develop and extend career-related learning. Successful applicants will be confirmed soon, with delivery beginning in September 2019 and both local enterprise partnerships in the North East were eligible to apply.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>Opportunity North East is different from an Opportunity Area in a number of ways, including that it operates across 12 local authority areas. It also has a highly focused remit to accelerate the improvement in educational outcomes from secondary school and beyond, leading to improved employment outcomes for the region’s young people.</p><p>The existing constitution of the board includes leaders from schools, further education and higher education, local government and business, and reflects the need to work across these sectors to bring about sustainable improvements to outcomes for young people in the region. The board includes the leaders of multi-academy trusts who have a good track record in improving school performance in the North East. The school sector is further represented by three local authority Directors of Children’s Services, and the Director of Schools North East. We do not intend to appoint a headteacher as a co-chair, or one or more classroom teachers to the Strategic Board. A schools sub group, which includes an additional three school leaders and the region’s Education Endowment Foundation Research School, advises the Strategic Board. Details about members of the board can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/expert-panel-confirmed-to-raise-education-outcomes-in-north-east" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/expert-panel-confirmed-to-raise-education-outcomes-in-north-east</a>.</p><p>The current composition of the board has enabled swift decision making, and strong commitment from across the department, so that activity can get underway through the ONE Vision programme from this September, meaning that young people can begin to benefit from as early as September this year. Officials will continue to work closely with a great number of school leaders in the region, through the various strands of work, to ensure that the programme delivers sustainable improvements in outcomes.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 247061 question first answered 02/05/2019 12:32:49 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
