Boris pledges to "level up per pupil funding"
New Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he will "level up per pupil funding in primary and secondary schools" during his first speech as PM outside Downing Street.
Johnson initially pledged £50 million extra funding – equivalent to a 0.1 per cent rise in the schools budget – to raise per-pupil funding in all secondary schools to £5,000.
However, he later pledged an extra £4.6 billion per year for schools by 2022.
Boris said: "My job is to make sure your kids get a superb education, wherever they are in the country, and that’s why we have already announced that we are going to level up per pupil funding in primary and secondary schools."
