Proceeding contribution from Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 July 2025. It occurred during Backbench debate on Educational Attainment of Boys.
Educational Attainment of Boys
Eight out of nine men in prison report that they were excluded from school. I was a secondary school teacher before I entered Parliament, and the attainment gap was a big worry, but my biggest worry was that we do not respond properly to or cater for people who are neurodiverse. About 20% of our young people, including girls, are different learners, but our curriculum does not really cater for them. Does the hon. Gentleman share my concern?
