§ Ms Estelle MorrisFrom September 1999, each secondary school pupil in the designated areas will have access to Learning Mentors, based in schools. Learning Mentors will be available to all who need them and will devote the majority of their time to individuals needing extra support in order to realise their full potential.
We will be agreeing the detailed arrangements for deploying mentors with the relevant local education authorities in partnership with their schools.
