In this week’s Tes news podcast we discuss a shift in attitude towards digital GCSEs and A levels, and whether it means the end of pen and paper exams.

And we dig into Boris Johnson’s pledge to make education his “biggest priority” in the wake the pandemic.
What is this government’s record on school spending, and how will their promises pan out?
