Primary schools need huge cash injection
Published: 15 May, 2009
London's boroughs need £740 million to guarantee every five year-old a school place over the next five years, London Councils has warned. Three quarters of London's boroughs are either having to provide unsatisfactory temporary classrooms or increasing class sizes to cope with demand, or acknowledge that a lack of capacity and insufficient funding for expansion means they will be facing problems within 2-3 years. London Councils' Executive Member for Children and Young People Councillor James Kempton said: "We urgently need the government to bring forward emergency funding to cover the current and expected demand for places, as well as change the way we are funded to prevent a situation like this occurring again. London's children deserve better." Related articles:
