Angela Rayner responds to NEU analysis of school funding

Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Education, responding to a National Education Union analysis of school funding said:

“The Tories have cut billions of pounds from our schools, which have seen their budgets falling for the first time in a generation.

“With rising pressure on class sizes and teachers leaving in droves, a generation of children is paying the price for Tory failure.

“The next Labour government will invest in a National Education Service, ending Tory cuts to our schools and increasing per pupil funding in real terms.
