The new programme, Giving Children an Even Break, that I announced on 4 January last, will run over a three year period and will cost some £26 million. The programme involves the creation of more than 200 new primary teaching posts and the allocation of cash grants to more than 2,300 primary schools in respect of disadvantaged pupils.
