answer text <p>In addition to the department’s ambitious wider spending review settlement for schools and 16-19 settings; since June 2020 nearly £5 billion in education recovery funding to support children and young people recover from the COVID-19 outbreak has been announced. The department’s recovery programmes allow early years, school and college leaders to support those pupils most in need to help them catch-up. This includes the catch-up premium in the 2020/21 academic year and the recovery premium in the 2021/22 academic year. Using evidenced based interventions, this funding can also be used to tackle non-academic barriers to success in school, such as enrichment activities like arts and sport.</p><p> </p><p>The department has also committed £200 million for secondary schools to deliver face-to-face summer schools in summer 2021, giving secondary pupils access to enrichment activities, such as games, music, drama and sports that they have missed out on over the COVID-19 outbreak. Almost 2,800 secondary schools across England signed up to host a summer school, this will have helped to support physical and mental health and wellbeing.</p><p> </p><p>The government is committed to high-quality education for all pupils, and integral to this are the arts and music. The department provides significant funding for a range of cultural education programmes, including music, which schools can access – over £620 million between 2016 to 2021, additional to core school budgets. We confirmed £80 million funding for this financial year, 2021-22, for music programmes; and we continue to provide just over £4 million for a set of tailored arts programmes. We will continue to invest around £115 million per annum in cultural education over the next three years, though our music, arts and heritage programmes, working closely with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Arts Council England and others.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside this, schools have continued to receive their core funding throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. The recent spending review announced that core funding for schools will rise by a further £4.7 billion by 2024-25, compared to previous plans, this builds on the largest school funding increase in a decade at the 2019 spending round.</p><p> </p><p>Collectively, this will support schools to deliver a broad and ambitious curriculum and enrichment activities.</p>

answer text <p>Anyone who displays symptoms of COVID-19 has access to a test, and is strongly encouraged to get tested. From the autumn term, all schools will be provided with a small number of home testing kits that they can give directly to parents and carers collecting a child who has developed symptoms at school, or staff who have developed symptoms at school, where the schools believe providing one will significantly increase the likelihood of them getting tested.</p><p>Departmental officials are working with the Department for Health and Social Care on plans for roll-out, including the number of kits that will be available to each school.</p> more like this

answer text <p><em>UK-US Trade &amp; Investment Highlights </em>is a report demonstrating the depth of the current commercial relationship between the UK and the US in each of the 50 states. For each state, an estimate of the value of goods and services exported to the UK was derived by combining (a) manufacturing exports data from the US Census Bureau, (b) agricultural output data from the US Department of Agriculture, (c) services exports data from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis and (d) data on the geographical concentration of services exporters from Moody’s Analytics. Estimates of direct and indirect jobs tied to these exports were then estimated using industry-specific employment survey data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.</p> more like this
