Former teacher and a senior analyst for the Times Education Supplement, Gráinne Hallahan explains how widespread the problem is, and who’s picking up the bill. We also hear from a parent whose son’s school is affected.
And, Chris Giles from the Financial Times is on to talk about how a change to the way we measure growth could mean the UK’s economy could actually be doing better than we thought.
