Chancellor's spending statement more 'frantic electioneering than funding commitment'

4 September 2019

Commenting on the chancellor's spending round statement, 樱花动漫 general secretary Jo Grady said:

'Today's rushed spending round appears more like frantic electioneering than a long-term commitment to boosting further and higher education. The funding promised to further education will do little to reverse the cuts of over 拢3bn in real terms that have blighted the sector over the last decade.

'The fact that an additional 拢2.1bn has been committed to planning for a no-deal Brexit compared to just 拢400m for further education shows where this government's priorities really lie.'
