A mixture of Tory austerity and Capitalism in general, simple
Arcarsenal ah yes cos in a socialist society the schools would get so much more funding! Let’s ask the Venezuelan kids shall we
@@TheFlightReviewer What's Socialism got to do with Venezuela lol?
Let me guess, you've only recently heard of Socialism in reference to Venezuela.
Well, it's a first world Capitalist country with socialist policies, must like most of the developed world today.
In other words, not a Socialist country.
It uses the free market and 70% of it's economy is in the private sector... Soooo, what was your point again?

My school could barely afford teachers, at one point we had a single teacher for the whole humanities department. It’s dire.
Gracie Rose we only have one teacher for music, geography and history
My form tutor at the school I went to in year 7 was also head of year and taught Geography, English and History for every year up to sixth form. She would be in and out of classrooms because there were so few teachers in a school of 1.6k students. It's gone up to 2k since I left that year, but there's been few new teachers introduced. I feel so bad for them.
Same
We have 2 history teachers. One of them can't teach. We have maths teachers coming and going and the current ones are awful. Everyone doing a higher teir paper failed a practice test because of it. A mess
Bruh. I go to one of the largest (I think) secondary schools in my region of England and there’s only one food tech teacher and no humanities teachers. The PE teachers are forced to teach humanities and you can imagine how that goes
I've worked in public schools as a electrical contractor. The lack of funding school have now is crazy low. Classes up to 50 in some! On the other hand, I've worked in private school and it's like being in a different country.
The poorest in our society are the one that are suffering from austerity. Low police funding and low school funding will see this country fall. Money should be pumped into these systems or we will fall down a slippery slope
Elliot Ward and they are planning to help other countries first rather than helping their own peoples .. bad
Hmmmmm not the police though
Over 7 years of Teaching science I’ve noticed a huge change. State education is failing. That is why I left state education to go into private school education as it is so much better conditions for pupils and teachers.
I agree, however most people who get into Ivy league schools come from public schools. I have no idea why that is exactly when we have these problems in public school.
Do away with the left wing teachers

Not really. In terms of Education, Children are achieving higher and better grades now than ever before.
Education failed me and so many other people. I actually despise the system now. I had some amazing teachers in middle school that helped me when I was a failing student but high school, wowzers.
LoadingMeerkat you’re not British “middle school”
@@inought3378 I am and from Bradford
@Dav serban Way it worked for me is first/primary school, middle school then high school.
Dav serban reception-y6, y7-y8, y9-y10. i think that’s how it works.
My guy went to middle school in Britain.
1) There is no middle school in the UK
2) British people don't associate there schools with "Britian" they use their country "England, Scotland, Sheep Shagger Land, Upper Pikey Land"
I don’t understand why you guys don’t let the kids clean their class rooms. We do that in Japan, kids learn to take responsibility and work in group. (There you can cut the cost) Nobody ever complained when I was at school
That’s what I was thinking. We should adopt the Japanese system.
janitors don’t actually cost that much, but even so, it would only be a band-aid to the problem- the difference is that many western (‘capitalist’) countries don’t give teachers the level of respect they get in east Asia (like Japan). they treat teachers the same way they treat plumbers and computer technicians and hairdressers and etc., so they don’t really care when teachers have something important to say.
Yeah, I didn't understand that complaint either (well that exact one is likely the teacher doing it all on their own, which is grossly unfair). There was a BBC article which had some good points as well, but also had a teacher complaining about doing lunch duty and before/after school duty. Hell, the latter used to happen when I was a school pupil in the UK...
That said, in Japan they probably get the students to clean too often, and the quality of the cleaning I've seen at times... has left a lot to be desired.
At a private school in the UK I used to go to, we did have to do cleaning. It was rather old-fashioned though, so certainly not normal.
I go to a state school, if we make a mess during the class (maybe from cutting paper idk) we have to clean it up. We still have cleaners though who clean the floors and empty the bins, but students do a lot of cleaning up as well (as do the teachers sometimes).
Yeah but things are different here in the UK.
The British education system is not structured like in your country unless you happen to learn in private schools and the majority of the teachers are over tired, under paid and over stretched with the amount of school work they have to do until they collapse and manage to eventually fall asleep for their remaining few hours left before they have to return back to work. EU has set out certain agendas and expectations which has been implemented into the our education system here in the UK.
Our government is out of touch aswell as out of control when it comes down to finances and expenses provided for state run schools. In other words financial distribution is unfair for the middle class. Austerity was one of the popular excuse used to shun its responsibilities.
We have soooooo... many MPs representing various different parties and to be quite frank, they are all self serving bigots who swallow up more of our tax's to pay into the EU and generally waste the rest on themselves.
Globalism since 1979 Has seen a decline in the populations wealth in salaries while corporations have got bigger and wealthier.

Meanwhile, at Eton, Rugby and Harrow, students pay over 30k p.a. for the privilege of being able to sit iGCSEs, a qualification the government itself has admitted is much easier to obtain the highest grades in, and yet is worth the same number of UCAS points (and treated equally by admissions tutors) as regular GCSEs. At all other state schools, the policy does not allow pupils to sit iGCSEs. The bourgeois really must be laughing at us.
You idiot you don't get UCAS points from gcse or IGCSE only a level
@@musa123asad I stand corrected, but the point still stands that they're worth the same as GCSEs and are used interchangeably at deciding what L6 quals students can take and many universities operate their own tariff systems which do take GCSE's into account.
Don't know why you feel the need to call someone who misunderstands a small triviality of the Byzantine government higher education qualifications system an idiot though. Things going OK at home?
So, state universities are allegedly discriminating against state schools, and that is the fault of private schools? Maybe you're right. The logical solution is to ban private schools and of course home-schooling. Your children should be brought up by the state. Every election we'll get to decide what your children are taught. And, if you disagree with the outcome, too bad for you.
@@YorickReturns Actually doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. Also ban all religious schools of any kind. Kids go to school, learn social skills, do sports, sit the same exams, eat properly and learn the national curriculum; if you want to teach them about anti-vaxx, the imminent coming of the messiah and 9/11 conspiracies in your own time that's great, more power to you.
And no, the curriculum would be decided by professionals at the DfE in concert with head-teachers and industry bodies and not by political appointees.
Sounds great. I am glad that you want to be a slave to the state.
I wonder if there’s any fat that can be trimmed in the Government? Maybe that way there’d be enough to go around?
Or just actually tax the rich and close loopholes.
charles townsend the more you tax the rich, the harder the loopholes will be forced. It is quite simply impossible to close all the loopholes and as such if you create an environment where paying tax is going to cost someone 60% of their income, they will simply choose to pay 0% instead

Blame on immigration, you always do. Instead of questioning your government who doesn't care about you. They work to pass laws in favor of the rich.
The Guardian isn't likely to blame immigration. The Daily Mail, yes, The Guardian, no. Immigration obviously has an impact, but given immigrant parents pay more money into the system than UK-born families do, it seems fair. Without those immigrant parents, the amount of money in the pot would be even lower.
@@jimsy5530Can u provide evidemce to back up this claim? Please.
Blaming immigrants and blaming the rich are two sides of the same coin.
I think you misunderstood, I asked you to provide evidencr that immigration and immigrants pay more than they take out? Multiple evidence suggests otherwise. Such as, fiscal studies and hey, get this one...even ONS. So whilst the Guardian is obviously an impartial source (ye right) I ask again for you to back up your claim with actual evidence

Some schools appear much worse affected than others. I know a school that can still fund a music programme, yet others can't. I feel there's more investigation to do on this.
Could be due to the size of the school, number of students or even how much the parents can contribute. Might not be an irregularity, but instead give some light into solutions for a general problem.
Us students are at breaking point too :)

And here I thought this was an issue only here in Canada. It’s a shame, really, when politicians cut funding for education and treating our children like economical units
£33m to piss away on failed contracts though.
This is heartbreaking! I’m halfway through finishing my degree to become a math teacher and it’s because I have a passion for education. I’m kinda scared to face these scary situations with money and politics involved in the school system and It’s crazy teachers get involved in and out of school for parents and children. I’m not reconsidering since I live in a decent town that teachers can make a living but it’s horrible to see it elsewhere.
The US is also trying to push for the privatization especially Betsy DeVos.
You mean, what's been going on in America for decades is finally happening in England?
What's wrong with all those useless college degrees in the USA? LoL gender studies
I think both parties are to blame... government are stingy with their money and IF schools do recieve funding it often goes towards making their schools look more prettier (well this is what I’ve experienced i mean my school can’t even afford books and important materials for us but then we see the school installing a new flat screen TV in the office i mean...)
Maybe, for a conclusion more anecdotal evidence may be required.
not sure how the UK works exactly, but if “bureaucracy” is a consistent language, then likely what is happening is that the schools get funding in a number of different designated portions. So one piece goes towards books, the other technology, food... etc., but these sections can’t be mixed, combined, transferred, or otherwise.
which would be why your school might have money for new technology (which are subsidized by the large tech corps anyway) but not books and teachers.
Funding is designated and using it outside of that can get you in serious trouble. Also, if you don't spend it, you lose it. Hence the TV.
Also, TVs are relatively cheap. You wouldn't get many other supplies for the price of one.
quite often the aesthetic changes aren't coming out of the 'school funding' pot, but the money is won from the government as grants to update facilities - schools aren't allowed to use their pupil funding to build new blocks or replace carpets
Sixteen or seventeen principals/heads/assistant heads, vice heads etc etc etc might be the reason why there is a funding problem.
This has started to happen to my highschool but it’s being combatted with.. fundraising. We do fundraising for the school at least once or twice a month, and since it has many students, can gather a huge amount of money to pay for expenses. My old primary school isn’t doing so well though. They’ve spend so much money on connecting two school buildings that they have barely any to pay teachers and to buy materials for the students... bloody hell
*Mint Yoongi With A Cup Of Suga*
Oof, same with mine.
Our school system is really corrupted anyway
Gov be like: *Everything is fine*
From Primary schools overflowing with children from other countries, To the Violence, and inability to discipline students of high schools it is not a problem just throwing money at will solve ?
I’m in my last year of secondary school and go to a pretty good school. Our school is doing ok at the moment, although they can’t order us new books when they run out or much paper because of the lack of money. If you try to walk down the hallway at break or lunch you’ll get pretty much trampled as they have had to bring in loads more students due to both the increasing amount of children coming up through primary schools in my area and the fact that they get a little bit more money per extra student. The thing is, all of the politicians send their kids to posh private schools, so they don’t see what it’s like first hand. In my opinion, we need more ‘normal’ people politicians and prime ministers. People that know what it’s like to not go to a private school and not have money, not all of these posh people that are high up in the government at the moment.
Schools are supposed to make kids smarter. Smarter people think independently. If the schools are worse then you can have mindless voters.
What do you expect from centre right and right neo-liberal economic policies. New Zealand suffered similar problems for 9 years under a centre right government. The cost of 9 years of education under funding and resulting teacher shortage is a big cost to the tax payer to rectified, as the current centre left collation government is finding out.
Yes, we need a far-right government or a far-left government. We need to reject neoliberalism.
Some schools are having to *close early* on Fridays to save money. The current government is letting the country down in so many ways, but undermining education has got to be the worst way. These are children's futures being affected!

Currently in Year. 10, I can see how much my school is being affected the cuts. Lack of basic resources like pencils, glues, rulers etc. But they still managed to get by thanks to some of my teachers and head. If it was “record amounts” being put into schools, how come I’m not even getting some of the basic tools for my education?
To lessen the financial burden put upon my sons school, I decided to home school him and he is learning without the stress of having to put up with stressed out teachers. So thank you government. You did us a favour. 😏

It sounds like they have increased the funding but their immigration policies are nullifying the benefits of the increased spending. Same thing is happening in the U.S. Unfortunately for both countries, the vast majority of immigrants and children of immigrants require additional resources than the native born population.
Native Brits are more likely to claim benefits than immigrants

exceptional coverage of an incredibly important topic. I'll be covering this n my channel this friday
I'll make sure to watch it tommorow
Because of austerity and privatisation in particular and capitalism in general.
Socialized schooling is failing because of capitalism.
Capitalism may have it's flaws but it's the best system we have. There had NEVER been a successful socialist country and before you say that 'but the nordic countries are socialist and they're pretty happy', you should note that they're not Socialist, they just have large welfare states. In fact, they're some of the easiest places in the world to do business. So if what you're saying is that we should cut regulation and red-tape just like in the nordic countries, which is what Capitalism is all about, then I'm entirely with you.
I don't know whether I was upvoted by people who understood the obvious sarcasm or didn't!
Why are the Government building even more houses bringing more families to stretch the already depleted services. So short sighted . It's not just Schools but all other Services too.
I think funding public education system is one of the best things a government can do for their citizens. After all, teenagers and young adults are the hope of any country.
It’s said that immigration is good for the economy but it’s hard to imagine that a foreign worker who brings their family with them, young children in tow, and is then employed in a contact lens factory becomes a net contributor to the economy.
You have to earn 45k a year to pay more in than you get out. I didn't know all these working class poor non skilled immigrants were getting paid so much.

BecomingfreeCOUK It’s true I’m afraid. I’ve looked it up before, can’t tell you where now though. Most people are net takers rather than contributors. Just a fact.
Maybe this is actually a positive. We need breaking points like these to show us cracks in systems and hopefully we can make a great change for our kids and their own.
I'm in school, in the north east and teachers can't buy some textbooks so we're stuck with old ones from the old curriculum (somewhat a problem caused by the companies who make the tdsts and change the textbooks every few years) and the school counsellor asked for an extra day to work, even though she didn't want to, but she had to because of the amount of students. The school could only pay for an extra half a day. There are definite issues with the education funds here
In my school, I think 2 sets had no teacher so they put 50 students in 1 class... Before that, 60% failed anyway cause the students didn't care about school and that % will increase. I'm still getting substitute teachers in year 11 while all the good teachers go to year 7s. This only happens in 'bad' areas
Something serious has to change..

It’s so weirdly normalised that most state schools (at least the ones that I have been to) have to set up a charity type thing for the school to raise money because the government won’t do it
I worked in estates management in local government for 40 years and up to 1997 we had a surplus of school places both primary and secondary. I personally arranged the conversion and sometimes demolition of schools because there simply weren't enough children being born to take up the places. For 60 years the government has monitored the birthrate which gave them at least five years notice of primary school requirements so if the shortage is not due to immigration we must assume the indigenous population started breeding like rabbits around 1995.

everyone always wants more money. We went through a recession, there was a deficit, there was a need to deflate the economy. I am sorry that we are not made of money. I have personally seen a great mismanagement of funds, and schools need to tacle this first before they demand more money.
Why is it the US and England’s schools are doing terribly?
This happened 20 years ago in America. Where I live they have fundraisers every week. The school board the principal and vice principal there pays have doubled. The parents and grandparents have to pay for cleaning supplies in the school. Along with all the paper supplies. For 20 years you have to pay to go on a school bus. If you cannot pay you have to drive your kid to school.
Why aren't you teaching kids about mortgages and how to actually live in the real world instead of teaching them useless things

If the birth rate was high the problem would still exist. That's because the problem isn't population changes, it's lack of funding.
@@ProfessorEGaddJoin the queue. Apparently the current items are underfunded - the national debt, climate change, benefits, pensions, the arts, the prison service, people wages, the NHS. Infact everything in a persons life is underfunded! Perhaps, just perhaps, we are making incorrect decisions!
I even know that some schools purposely lower their rates (stars?) between 1 to 3 so that they can keep the fees low for students to attend. Because the higher the rating of the school has become, the more the school must charge the family :(

Well when u import people who have 7-8 children each no wonder its overburdened.
In short: Tory policy.
But *I* thought that austerity was “over”™️?!
I work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week as a teacher in England. This country has the longest hours in Europe. I'm so burnt out I would love to quit!
Children are extremely dependent and expensive. Population increase costs. Most population increase is immigrants, so keep it down. Why should British taxpayers have pay to educate the results of foreigners' excessive reproduction?
What is described here is the inevitable result of population increase. So stop increasing the population.
The population has increased before. There are solutions other than stopping population growth.
No there aren't other solutions. The earth's resources are finite. For whose benefit, and to what purpose, do you want to keep increasing the human population?@@ProfessorEGadd
@@chriswatson1698 I think it was fairly clear from context that we were talking about the population of the UK, not of humans in general.
mass immigration :p
Neo-liberal economy system.
@@FMB_Bmg mass immig is a part of that
My school officially has no more funding for trips. We (the students) have to pay for all the expenses for our trips, and it's very expensive. £21 to go to Epping Forest from Hackney... But, we're very lucky because we can still afford supplies and programmes etc
We always paid for ours
What's the problem? Don't learn anything on them anyway
Just face it, the UK in general is deteriorating
The fact that education is left to fend for itself is embarrassing
And yet the rich get richer than any other time in history.. Somebody is taking the piss !
Biased media. Respect the will of the people. Sign the UK open petition for a no deal Brexit 360,568 MBGA
What has this to do with the issues in the report??
Immigration.
Nope - migrants pay more money in taxes than they take out in services, the issue is chronic misspending of funds by the 'Tory government. Your attitude harms immigrants and their children, but it also hurts locals, as you're ignoring the real problem to attack a bogeyman.
The money is being spent on those ''academies'', not regular comprehensives.
Ive seen this in school, we have no money for glue, pens or anything like that. Rulers rubbers etc
But we have money to give over 300 million to Pakistan alone loooool
Headteachers send their kids to private schools. They won’t send their kids to their school, I WONDER WHY
Four years later, it looks like the system's finally broken.
But yet in my area, all children aged in their second last year in primary till the end of their secondary school education in public schools are going to be given free iPads that they can take home? Giving an iPad to each and every child is not an efficient using of funding, and as well as that all children as soon as they start their primary education will be assigned a personal IPad in school..... ridiculous
Living in UK here. I didn’t have a GCSE chemistry teacher for a year. Then we got one and she couldn’t even understand English. Whenever we have a cover or supply teacher they never speak English. I don’t have anything against people who don’t speak english, but how can you teach a class in England if you don’t speak English. The GCSE physics rooms at my school don’t even have running water
