Poorer children would be offered the chance to attend lessons on Saturday to help catch up with their middle?class peers (同龄人), the shadow schools secretary, Michael Gove, said today.?The Conservatives would give English state schools the freedom to choose to have longer teaching hours and extra classes at the weekend, he told the Association of Teachers and Lecturers’annual conference.?
Gove said the move would help to close the achievement gap with richer children whose parents could afford extras such as tutoring and music lessons.?
He told delegates (代表) in Manchester: “For children who come from homes where parents don’t have the resources to provide additional stretch and cultural experiences, there are benefits in having those children in the learning environment, in school, for longer.”?
“Parents would love to have schools starting earlier in some circumstances, and certainly going on later in the afternoon, given the reality of their working lives,” he said. He held up the example of Kipp (Knowledge is Power Program) schools in the US, which are often based in the poorest communities and open from 7:30 am to 5pm on weekdays, plus Saturdays.?
But it would be up to schools to decide to offer longer hours, Gove added. ?

I’m just not sure whether taking away a child at weekends is actually going to make them cleverer in the week.”?
The ATL’s general secretary, Mary Bousted, said: “If we want Saturday schools, then we need more teachers doing the extra hours, not the same teachers working longer.”?
