ESSA in the Daily Mail and the TES

ESSA in the Daily Mail and the TES

ESSA was featured this weekend in the Daily Mail and the Times Educational Supplement. SSO Jack Lewars was commenting on a proposal to ban tea and coffee for under-16 year olds, when the story broke in the TES on Friday, and the Daily Mail then featured the story and the quotation on Saturday. ESSA feels that students are capable of deciding whether to drink tea or coffee for themselves. You can see the Daily Mail story here and here.
