Labour commits to protecting early years funding

Early years and school funding would be protected ‘in real terms',under a Labour Government.

During a visit to his old secondary school Haverstock in north London, Labour leader Ed Miliband set out his plans for education and said that spending on schools would rise at least as much as inflation.

Mr Miliband said, ‘I can announce that the next Labour government will ensure that spending on our schools rises by as at least as much as inflation. In other words, it will be protected in real terms. And we will go further. Because all of us know that the success of our children depends so much on the first steps children take in the early years and the further education they go on to.’
