Education Secretary launches new funding pledge

The video discusses the UK government's plan to allocate £18.9 billion in new funding for schools over three years. This funding aims to ensure all schools receive a cash increase, particularly those historically underfunded. The initiative supports the Prime Minister's pledge for minimum per-pupil funding and addresses additional costs like pensions. The funding is part of a long-term strategy to improve education quality and provide teachers with the resources needed to enhance student achievement. The plan is sustainable, allowing schools to plan their budgets confidently over the next three years.
