Fuck yes. Vote: ✅ |
I missed out "at least", making it seem like it couldn't rise faster than those things if we wanted to. |
Vote: ✅ |
I'll probably vote yes either way, but would you two agree to earmark the surplus for school expansion and additional staff, rather than mere wage increases? |
I'd counter that where the money goes should be a decision for schools to make, not government ministers ;) |

The secretary of state for education has one job. Being an administrator, not an educator. |
I'm not sure, honestly. I'd be very wary of saying how schools should spend their money, myself. I'd want someone with more direct experience to make that call. But I don't see why money wouldn't be used for wage increases, if necessary. Schools would take that decision in the same as any other organisation would. Also, I have no idea who those wages are currently set by. |
I don't mind how much you increase their budget by. I'm happy to bankrupt all of the other government services for education. You can't have state security, or health or businesses if your people are stupid. Pledge to spend evermore here and I'll likely be fine with it. Vote: ✅ I'd just be worried that:
Insist that the money will be spent intelligently and you go some step towards reassuring against these things. |
