The next academic year will see many schools being shut down due to the financial crunch. The cost-of-living crisis will engulf 9 out of 10 schools due to the worsening situation. The National Educational institution demands assurance from the upcoming prime minister. They think that the pledge according to the company’s ideal will help restore the funding to 2010 levels.
A survey conducted by the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT)
The schools are set for an about £2 billion shortfall by 2024. The inflation rates are continuing along with the soaring energy bills making it difficult to run the school. The teachers are also given pay-offer as the government’s unfunded blow-inflation pay. A survey conducted by the National Association of Head Teachers unfolds that the leaders of the schools opine the same. They believe their institution will be in indebtedness this academic year as the costs increase.
Paul Whiteman- The General Secretary Opines
Paul Whiteman, the General Secretary says that no way of easy fixations is left to the situation. The schools are cut to their core which will lessen the staff’s time including the teaching assistants and teachers. Teaching hours will be lessened due to the onset of such a crisis. Whiteman, last week, announced at the TUC’s annual congress the first-ever national industrial action ballot. He has conveyed to the delegates in Brighton saying that he has never heard such anger and despair from headteachers.
Whiteman Adds
He added further that have lost a lion’s share of the value of their salary since 2010. The funding set for education will also be 3% less by 2024-2025 in real terms. Comparison of it since when the Tory government came to power makes the situation more difficult. The General Secretary also putting forward his opinion said that insufficient payments were given to the schools. This led to staff resignations on a large scale. The situation demands cutting down on services. Future education is on the line, he said defying it as an exaggeration.
Kevin Courtney – Joint General Secretary of the National Education opines
Kevin Courtney, the National Education Union joint General Secretary said that the schools are almost empty. A pay cut for the teachers and the supporting staff can balance out the cost of the books. Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor is expected to announce his statement on 31st October, as the bad situation is turning worse. The next prime minister needs to prioritize the investment in education.
