i didn t say that. no, i know. no, but that is why i m here, isn t it? i m just supposed tojust go back to being my good old self and we can all get on with our lives. it s just gonna take time, that s all. don t, don t, don t. please. no, do you really think that time is going to make all of this 0k? it s going to make us 0k? i m not saying that, i m just saying that we can t stay here like this, this is not good. i know. but i don t know how i fit any more. i don t know how we fit, how any of it works, i m just not like you lily. you re not like me? i carried her inside me for nine months! so, why are you here? so, here s the thing. this is obviously a very difficult subject for a film to approach and what this tries to do is to be sort of, you know, sentimental and sometimes funny and sometimes serious.
we need a longer term plan, the ambition cannot be tojust go back to pre pandemic levels of education attainment and equality because that was not good enough and it was declining. we know by international standards, the government has invested significantly lower amounts in per pupil funding in education for recovery. it amounts to £310 per pupil in england whereas in countries like the usa and the netherlands, it isjust under or over £2000 per pupil so we are talking about a very big difference. let us move on to talk about something raised byjules, the question of mental health. research commissioned by the nhs suggests one in six children of school age has a problem with their mental health, up from one in nine four years ago. the statistic which shocked me the most in preparing for this programme isn t that one. it s that england has just 59 mental health support teams to cover
natalie, is there anything your institute has found in research that amounts to best practice in this area? is there evidence on which we could draw to know what might help because the pandemic might be a new experience globally but lots of countries have crises in delivering education where there are wars, natural disasters, on an annual basis or some places just have to deal with these things like geography, one thinks of the outback in australia, other things we could draw on? there is a lot of evidence but the main thing we need to focus on is how we can use the best evidence of what works to improve young people s education, particularly to close the gap between the most disadvantaged and the rest. even before the pandemic, that gap was already widening so, jules is correct, we need a longer term plan, the ambition cannot be tojust go back to pre pandemic levels of education attainment and equality because

she d still got my phone, she was still talking. the last thing she ever said to me was, mummy, i need you. i told her i loved her. that s the last time i saw her. halfway through her surgery, a surgeon came out and asked if she d swallowed anything. i said, not that i know. that s when they told me they thought she d swallowed a button battery. so, we actually went up then to children s intensive care where we were waiting for more news. and hejust said, i m sorry. that s what i can remember. i can rememberjust letting a loud scream out, shouting, no. and i had tojust go and tell my girls, because they were only letting two of us in a room, and i had to tell my girls that their baby sister had passed away. she s left a very big hole. very. when you realised what had happened, what did you then think about those batteries,
