Extra funding for schools announced at last year’s spending review “didn’t go far enough” to meet “additional pressures”, the education secretary has admitted.
Gillian Keegan also outlined plans to try to “streamline” the process of pay recommendations from the School Teachers’ Review Body and how it affects school budgets, amid criticism that ministers leave it far too late to confirm their plans each year.
The education secretary joined deputy director of the Department for Education’s funding policy Tom Goldman and others on a webinar for teachers and leaders about last week’s pay announcements.
