Alliance comments on Gavin Williamson reappointment as education secretary
Commenting, Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Early Years Alliance, said:
“At a time of great challenge for the early years, we hope that Mr Williamson will be actively involved in discussions about the future of the sector, particularly ahead of this year Budget and Spending Review.
“All too often, education is seen as something that starts at the school gates. As such, we look forward to continuing to work with the education secretary, demonstrating to him the value of the early years and making the case for greater government support and investment going forward.
