Lost education, holograms and Ask the Doctor.

On the phone in: How worried are you about children catching up on lost education? Also on the show: holograms and Ask the Doctor

PHONE-IN
The prime minister has promised schools in England there will be more money "coming down the track" after catch-up plans were labelled a "damp squib". Head teachers had said they were "hugely disappointed" by a £1.4bn Covid recovery package. Most of the funding will be for tutoring to make up for lost learning. There had been reports the recovery plan would be much bigger and include a longer school day - but funding for any further catch-up proposals will now depend on the next spending review. In Scotland the focus has been on increasing teacher numbers to help with the long-term Covid recovery.
