According to Hooper, every TSL session for the national tutoring programme costs £18.33, £9.50 of which pays for programme design, customer support, technology and finance in its London office, with £5.36 for tutor training and development at the Colombo office, and on average £3.07 per tutor per session. Hooper said the company makes 2% profit on each NTP session, which equates to 40p.
I'm all for keeping money within the UK but I suppose whether the costs would be viable?
The pupils have to pay 25% of the session (another debate in itself) so maybe this way makes it affordable?

Those call centres are generally useless, but I'd not hesitate for a second to allow my kids to have a tutor from India or Sri Lanka. After all, they more often than not leave white British kids behind in education.
The system itself is brilliant, we can't afford to tutor these kids and anyone prepared to work for minimum wage here thinks 8 beans make 5. The tutors also get help with their own costs and to help their families.
Young people here and abroad will suffer because of the ‘London office'

I mean... this isn't necessarily surprising given who we have in charge right now, but it stinks nevertheless...

Not just the UK it says wealthy countries. Not saying that makes it right but lets not single us out as being the only culprits. Assuming it's not fake news of course!

of course - but it's the UK that's most relevant to us.
and it's typical of the selfish Tory approach - keep the poor under the thumb / boot so they 'depend' on the rich to look after them... like I said, not surprising but no less ****ty
meanwhile Boris spends £200 grand on refurbs for his flat while people can't afford the mortgage on an entire house that cost less than that. It's got to start winding you up at some point....

Typical approach by all wealthy countries, that's not to say I think that's acceptable.
This news is a bit patchy at the moment, wait until we find out what other countries are involved and I'll find a few to cherry pick and I'll pick on them.
BTW 200k is **** all and it's not his flat, it'll still be there when he's gone.
If you're going to buy me that pint you better start saving up, nothing is cheap in London

- I'll bring my cider flask
£200k might be **** all to you your lordship but for us public sector workers it's fantasy money
and it being just for temporary accommodation makes it worse!!! Pritti will want it all changed when she takes over.
(I wonder if you can get wallpaper with pictures of your favourite dictators on it...) ....
you're right of course on the typical of wealthy countries. I just wish we could be different for once. Yo know what they say 'give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever' (if he uses the right bait of course!) . Maybe it needs updating - 'sell a man a fish and he'll be in your financial control for ever...'
peace and love man

As you've probably read I'm more concerned about local matters, stuff that directly affects me and my family,
As I say to Spanker, **** is everywhere and it starts at a local level, it's not exclusive to those at the top.
Peace and love man.
When PP gets in I know two people on here who'll be able to do her a very expensive posh kitchen

Yes , we all know that there are pockets of corruption everywhere , but when the ones running the show are so obviously corrupt and seem to get away with it on a daily basis , it emboldens everyone with similar intentions !
And if anyone thinks that our government is concerned with regard to helping others out of poverty or guiding countries to democracy they are sorely mistaken , it's all about our economic foreign interests and always has been .
We are guided to vote in their interests to sustain the status quo by billionaire press and media owners and if anyone threatens the status quo they are smeared or not given a platform !

One for the politicians amongst us lol
Well, I saw an interesting piece on the news this morning. It costs £47 million for the House of Lords, you know, those born with a silver spoon in their mouths
Thought I would have a quick google out of interest and see what the House of Commons costs, you know, the business men with invested interests who are supposed to represent the public, us commoners
The cost of running both Houses of Parliament in 2018/19 was £560.4 million – an above-inflation increase of 7.3% on the previous year
Those commoners can spend a bob or two £
I bet when Oliver Cromwell sorted that out, was it? I bet he could never imagine the shower of **** that we are in today

It costs £47 for the house of lords ? eh , to all those that get triggered by the sun and express etc calling people in the uk scroungers , this is where it peaks , parliament !
So if Nicola Sturgeon has to resign for misleading parliament , as most uk politicians have said , including Doris , why hasn't he and his bent cronies resigned as they have been found to mislead parliament every week ???

All to do with personalities. When Sturgeon first appeared on the scene I was impressed at first, now I find her an irritating Jimmy Kranky. Plenty of work for her in panto when lockdown has fully finished.
House of Lords needs doing away with or at minimum it needs a MAJOR rethink
