Calls for more funding for English classes for Ukrainian refugees

Language schools and community groups have called on the government to
increase funding for free English classes for Ukrainian refugees, saying
they are being inundated with applications.

Providers have reported waiting lists of thousands and Ukrainians around
the UK joining their online classes because they do not have anything
nearby.

Demand has especially gone up in recent weeks, they said, as thousands of
newly arrived refugees, many of whom are suffering trauma and have had
their former homes destroyed, attempt to set up a new life in the UK.
