<p>The Cadet Expansion Programme aimed to have 500 cadet units parading in schools
by March 2020. This target was met five months early in November 2019. The Government’s
ambition is to now grow the number of cadets attending these units to 60,000 by 2024.</p><p>

all face-to-face cadet activity from 17 March. Restarting activity in school cadet
units will be at the Headteachers’ discretion, subject to Government guidance and
will be secondary to efforts to return schools to normal service.</p><p> </p><p>Cadet
training personnel from the Services will be available to support school cadet units
in returning to activity when Headteachers decide the time is right.</p>
