The cost-of-living crisis will lead 90% of schools to run out of money by the next academic year, the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) has warned.
The cost-of-living crisis will lead 90% of schools to run out of money by the next academic year, the National Association of Head Teachers has dramatically warned.
In an open letter to Tory MPs, 13 national education associations pleaded for them to demand assurances from leadership candidates that they would deliver on the party’s 2019 pledge to restore funding to 2010 levels. Mr Whiteman said headteachers have lost around 24% on the value of their salary since 2010, with education funding set to be 3% less in real terms in 2024/2025 than it was in 2010, when the Tories came to power.He added that insufficient pay has sent schools into ‘a vicious spiral’ of staff resignations, and warned that ‘heartbreaking cuts to services’ will have to be made.
