New Labour spending on education - where did the money go?
Darling's recent budget document boasts that in the "ten years after 1997" spending on education increased by 60 percent and "as a proportion of GDP has risen from 4.8 percent to 5.5 percent".
Unfortunately, we can not see that huge spending increase in the number of teachers. Since 1997, the number of teachers has increased by just 8,000, up just 1.8 percent.
What did New Labour do with all that money for education?
