Liberal Democrats announce education funding commitment for Kent
January 28, 2010 12:00 AM
The Liberal Democrats have announced a major funding commitment to boost education in Kent schools.
Nick Clegg has this week set out the Liberal Democrat manifesto commitment for a Pupil Premium that would invest around £55million of extra cash in Kent schools, raising the funding for disadvantaged pupils to private school levels.
The money will be invested through the Pupil Premium pledge, part of a £2.5bn manifesto spending commitment.
Guy Voizey PPC for Canterbury and Whitstable said:
"It's nothing short of a scandal that children in Kent continue to lose out under Labour.
"Some of the schools here receive significantly less money than the national average and something must be done.
"Under our plans, Kent schools would get a further £55million which they could use to cut class sizes and provide more individual support."
