ENGLAND’S schools are being starved of cash, with the amount per pupil dropping between 2015 and 2020, teachers warned yesterday.
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) and Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) research found that 98 per cent of schools in England would suffer a cut per pupil.
Those schools hardest hit are the ones where pupils’ families are what the Tories now call “Jams” — further making a mockery of Prime Minister Theresa May’s claim to be standing up for society’s “just about managing” households.
With 170,000 children living in poverty in north-east England and teachers leaving in droves over 20 per cent real-terms pay cuts since 2010, all while private companies siphon off billions, it is time to unite and fight for education, writes MATT WRACK
