The National Tutoring Programme is a UK Government scheme announced in June 2020[1] and launched in November that year[2] forming part of a £1.7 billion catch-up fund to try to address learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] It outsources the tutoring of school children to 33 organisations,[4] most of them private companies. The scheme has attracted criticism over cost, claimed inefficiency, and over the use of children as tutors.
