More than a quarter of secondary schools in England are in the red

By ITS Education Asia

With an average deficit of more than 500,000 pounds, and more “teetering on the edge,’ secondary schools in England are finding it harder to make ends meet, according to a new report by thinktank Reform.

A better disbursement of funds has been suggested by the author of the report, Dr Luke Heselwood, who suggested that “Extra cash for schools is welcome, but it must be well spent. A universal ‘levelling-up’ approach risks wasting taxpayer’s money, while failing to sufficiently help those schools in financial hardship.”
