Schools in the UK, such as Corfe Hills (pictured), are being slighted by Gordon Brown's budget
Commenting on the education provisions in today's Budget, Annette Brooke MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Children, Young People and Families, said:
"In his final budget, Gordon Brown has once again missed the opportunity to live up to Labour's promise of putting education first.
"This Budget wasn't as generous as billed and didn't address the real issues.
"Where is the cash to reduce class sizes for our youngest pupils? Where is money for expert teachers in science and maths in our secondary schools? And where is the money for employing foreign language teachers in our primary schools?"
