Lord Agnew speaks on funding pressures

Lord Agnew spoke to attendees at the Festival of Education at Wellington College on 20 June, 2019 regarding funding pressures on education.

Lord Agnew said he believes there are four areas where extra funding is needed: high needs, post 16, rural primary schools, and covering the pensions contributions.

He also spoke about the need to be ‘ ambitious for the future of our schools and colleges, not just for the next year but for the next generation.’
