  • I think Teaching burden has changed in a lot of ways in the last 50 years

    I think there's a big difference in the burden placed on teachers in early years schools vs secondary schools - and this is an early years school policy.

    EDIT In fact now I google this, it applies to three- to five-year-olds so teachers would not be impacted.

    Here's the actual proposal:

    Labour will eliminate dental deserts and improve children’s oral health by:

    1. Delivering 700,000 extra urgent dental appointments per year, so more children can see a dentist when they really need to.
    2. Recruiting dentists to areas that need them with a targeted enhanced recruitment scheme.
    3. Introducing a targeted national supervised toothbrushing programme for 3–5-year-olds in our fully funded breakfast clubs.

    Difficult to disagree with that imo.

  • To be fair, I defended it without having read the detail too. But I think part of that is that when Labour announced this last year it WAS a teacher-based policy, but following that feedback they reissued as an early learning / breakfast school policy.
