Next to her photo is a quote that reads: “Efforts to tackle the disadvantage gap in education will only be successful within a wider effort to address the causes and effects of poverty.

Along with the lifting of the two-child limit, this directly addresses some of the unacceptable conditions children have experienced over the past decade.” A footer encourages viewers to read the full response on epi.org.uk.
