RADICAL CHANGE IN SCHOOLS FUNDING NEEDED - Lib Dems |
|
Thursday, 12 June 2008 |
Commenting on today’s IFS report that reveals local authorities are not spending money allocated for deprived children correctly, Liberal Democrat Shadow Children, Schools and Families Secretary, David Laws said:
"This report makes the clearest possible case for a radical change to Britain’s system of funding schools.
"We need a fairer way to make sure that extra spending is getting through to those schools which most need the money.
"This research supports the case for introducing a Pupil Premium to bring the funding of the disadvantaged youngsters up to the level of the private sector."
