Pleased to see that Starmer intends to introduce this into the curriculum.

So often this is the only thing missing in our children’s education that makes a difference in their obtaining a whizzy job or place at a desired university.

It will be especially useful to those children lacking confidence.

Evidence for above:

That should do for starters.
