Mr Cameron said: “I’ve made it the mission of this government to transform life chances across the country.

“That means giving hard-working people the extra support they need to fulfil their potential.”

The Prime Minister will also announce the Government is to spend £12 million over the next four years to support more mentoring for teenagers.

The promises build on policy ideas first floated in a speech in January.
