Education Committee to hold first oral evidence session in Alternative Provision inquiry

Alternative Provision is provided in settings such as Pupil Referral Units and educates pupils who are outside of the mainstream school system for a variety of reasons, such as school exclusion, school refusal or illness. 

The first oral evidence session will be a chance for MPs to ask about the general issues surrounding alternative provision, including the reasons pupils are educated in alternative provision, the quality of teaching and the educational outcomes of pupils.

The full terms of reference for the inquiry can be found here.
