Editor’s letter...
Happy New Year to all our readers! We look forward to seeing
you at this month’s BETT show.
The government’s pre-Budget report was released last month
and gives us an idea of the thinking as regarding school
funding going forward. Given the ongoing recession, I believe
we can be overall quite pleased that Labour has pledged to
continue to support schools with an annual increase of around
0.7 per cent through to 2013. There is also good news to be
found for those families earning less than £16,190 a year. Their
children will now be eligible for free school meals. This pledge
should affect half a million children and will go some way to
addressing the related problems of child poverty and obesity.
However, higher education, colleges and universities will find
no succour in the Budget and teachers will have their pay
capped for two years after 2011. Before that time, of course,
we are going to have a general election, which could in all
likelihood usher in a Conservative Government with a whole
new set of plans for the education sector.
Do you think the Budget will be good news for schools?
