ENGLAND SCHOOLS FACE “PLACES BREAKING POINT”



The cost of creating places for the 880,000 extra pupils expected in England by 2023 could push schools to breaking point, Council leaders have warned.
The Local Government Association (LGA) fears the crunch on school places could soon reach a tipping point with no more space or money to extend schools.
Official government figures, published sometimes in the 2014’s year project stated that by 2023 there will be a total of eight million and twenty-two thousand (8,022,000) pupils in England’s schools –up from the seven million, one hundred and forty-three thousand (7,143,000) in the same year, 2014.
The minister has placed the blame on the last labour government for failing to plan ahead.
