Why literacy matters for educational equity

This episode of TutorCast explores the critical connection between literacy and educational equity with expert guest David Savill.

David, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Salford and leader of the Northern School of Writing, is spearheading the new Literacy Matters Network in Salford. We discuss how disadvantage in Greater Manchester shapes literacy outcomes and fuels the attainment gap, preventing young people from accessing the full curriculum.

Find out how local collaboration and targeted interventions, like Tutor Trust's successful reading tuition, can provide the solution to boost literacy levels and transform young people’s life chances.
