Labour attacks education system under the Tories
Speaking in Westminster this morning, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has turned his focus on public services, arguing that this election is vital for the future of schools and the NHS.
He said that several years under the Tory government has left “Children crammed into overcrowded and crumbling classrooms."
Labour has released new analysis which suggests that if the Conservatives continue to be in power, by 2022, health and education services could be facing huge problems, with 650,000 pupils crammed into primary classes of over 30.
It also says that families will be left almost £450 worse off per child as a result of the Tories’ plan to scrap free school meals for 1.7 million children.
Labour meanwhile pledges it will cap class sizes at 30 for 5, 6 and 7-year-olds, and will provide free school meals to all primary school children by removing VAT exemption on private school fees.
